Eric, this was a fantastic listen. It reminded me jazz from the 60's.

This does have a real live feel. Super job on the mix. Great job on that lead. The guitar's tone is nice and brought the song into today's world. It you had used a more mellow tone like maybe Wes Montgomery or Johnny Smith the song would have stayed in the 60's. I'm not complaining just making an observation.

This is a fantastic song.

This song had a really great feel to it which I really appreciate, and I especially liked the RealTrack arrangement usage as well. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Eric,

Very nice throughout - both the Sax and your Guitar are very tasty. Your Guitar work sounds like my hero Carlos Santana playing Jazz - wonderful.

Best Regards

I kept waiting for you to come in...all tease for the 1st two minutes Eric!
The song made more sense when you started playing... the sax was nice but wasn't "interesting".
You playing, tone & choices make your guitar work interesting.


Cheers

Eric,

that's a really cool one - closed my eays and was immediately taken back to that old smokey jazz club I used to go to .. ah ... 45 years ago.

Really enjoyable and so well-done!

Love it.

Cheers,

Stefan

Eric,
Smooth tune. Nice, laid back guitar. Now you need to add some smoky, free flowing female vocals to it smile Good mix.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Sounds great Eric, as per usual.

I agree with Ray, I think you should have brought the guitar in sooner, or maybe even started off with the guitar.

Nothing wrong with the sax guy, but I dig your playing more.
