Mellow and Jazzy was the exact sound I was striving for. I'm more than delighted it came across as such. Thank you again for the very kind words. Best ...

It was like listening to an early record from Larry Carlton or Lee Ritenour - very 70/80-ish. smile

Looking forward to hear more music from you!

Hi Will ...

70s Smooth Jazz was my goal. Glad it listens as such. I like Larry Carlton a lot but I'm a huge fan of Lee Ritenour. Pat Metheny, too. I have quite a few of these I've not yet posted. I'll throw one in here and there. A lesser-known jazz guitarist in more recent years, but with that nostalgic sound we're talking about, is Paul Brown. I like him as lot, too.

Thank you very much for your warm and encouraging words. Best to you ...

Alan

Alan - I had to quote Bob here. He stated it perfectly. So well done!

Sounds like a George Benson track...

Hi Floyd ...

Thank you for the nice comments! I appreciate them very much. I'm a hug George Benson * Wes Montgomery fan. But I thought this one has more of a Paul Brown sound, although the George Benson influence is also prevalent - it's hard fopr me to get away from it.

Again, many sincere thanks. Best you and yours.

Nice one, Alan!

You own the smooth jazz instrumental genre here as far as I'm concerned, just a very well thought out and produced track.

Just what I needed to hear along with my first coffee of the day smile

Well done - cool progression. I'm not a Brent fan but his stuff on this certainly did sound as cliched as in his other styles.
Nice backing.

Hi Alan,

I know I'm late for the party, but you know the reason for that.

This is another very fine piece you delivered !!!! I'm a big admirer of your compository abilities, and this one is just another evidence of your musicality. Great playing and I just have to repeat it over and over again: So tasteful !!!

Hope you and Di are good; take care

Stefan

PS: Just to make sure we didn't miss each other: In your last reply you announced a PM. I do hope that it didn't get lsot between our PCs, because I never got one. Of course, this doesn't mean that I expect you to send one, but sometimes they do get lost and I don't want you to think I was impolite and forgot to reply...

Hi Alan and Di,

I hope that all is travelling as well as possible for you both.

Just this morning, I discovered that there are couple of your songs that have completely bypassed me. I'm now in the process of listening to them.

I absolutely love this instrumental. It is a delight to listen to. You always manage to discover chord progressions that soothe the soul and satisfy the ear. Everything about this sits wonderfully well together and creates a fine musical journey.

Sending my best thoughts your way,
Noel
