Something beautiful, something nice, something groovy, something excellent hat's what it is. Really enjoyed the listen right from that great intro. Superb solos, too.
take Care,
Stefan Thanks Stefan for your nice words. So glad you enjoyed your listen. Cheers, Mike Cool backtrack Mike. Loved the bass runs. I too would love to hear a vocal dancing across this lovely tune Thanks for listening Scott. The bass is by Neil Swainson. I've used him in a few different styles and he's always top class. I especially love his growling tone, especially behind the guitar solo (from around 2min20sec). Thanks again, Mike

Hi Mike,
I wrote to Alan instrumentals don't get too much attention from me, but he and some others are the exception. Now I have to add you to my list too! At the start of your song it flashed through my head 'KC and the Sunshineband'! Within seconds, that thought faded like ice in a microwave. But the song has bits of more styles, just like you wrote. That is what makes this song so nice. The way you flutter through the styles, like a butterfly.
Nicely done!
Hans Thanks for your kind words Hans. I'm glad to be part your instrumental-listening list. We non-vocalists have to work a little bit harder to capture and keep listeners' attention. It's a challenge we gratefully accept. Covid-19 sounds a bit scary in Europe at the moment. Stay safe. Mike

Oh, yeah!! Definitely Bob James. The Bird also played some of my favorite blues that don't sound like blues. There are hints of the blues throughout. Love the arrangement. So much fun to play! Great band and band development. I was so thrilled to see Phil Woods in Biab, too. Keep 'em coming, man.

The amount of talent, forethought and subsequent effort that it takes to produce something like this is above our pay grade. But that does not keep us from enjoying it.
There was a thread somewhere on the forum a while back about instrumental songs vs vocals, etc. We like vocals and instrumentals that have soul. Period. We see no reason to favor one over the other.
In addition to the fine performances the mix has a great open feel with lots of track separation but still the feel
that it could be a well honed live band performing.
Enjoyed it!
J&B Janice and Bud, thank you for your very kind words. Praise from you guys means a lot to me as I regard your music and production standards so highly. Stay safe, Mike

I'm glad you liked the arrangement. BTW the alto sax player on this track is Eric Marienthal. Cheers, Mike

Mike,
Super arrangement. A lot of small and well thought out elements really came together well. Mix is one of your best, from what I heard on forum. I believe you are ok with observation comments... I thought that drums were somewhat busy at the start. It works, but it is unusual(to me) it seems like the tension buildup is right at start, and then slowly dissolves throughout the tune. Disregard my blathering, nice work!
Misha.

Misha. Thanks Misha for your kind and insightful observations. I agree the drums in the first chorus are quite busy but I was aiming for an ad-lib cymbals feel before the more rhythmic second chorus. My musician son expressed similar sentiments to yours so you're probably right. Thanks again for taking the time to listen. Your honest comments are much appreciated. Cheers, Mike
