Lovely!

I (Janice) listened to this first last night while cooking supper and I had a delightful time dancing around the kitchen, pretending Bud was cheek to cheek with me. (He says the only way he could dance is if someone is shooting at his feet.) smile

When we listened again together I had to get up and dance around the room to show him how much fun he was missing. Y'all delivered a lovely tune from the opening vibes to the sax solo to the final note.

We both enjoyed it and wish we were sitting in a little club hearing more of your songs.

Loren, you know this is my kind of thing, excellent job but I was asking for more. That's the problem with nicely done tunes.
Cheers

Dear Ms. Janice...

I really and truly dig the fact that music makes you wanna move. Ain't dat what it was made for??? I'm happiest when I get that kind of response to my compositions/songs. I'm sure 'Icelander' appreciates your response, too!

Thank you for giving the piece a taste smile.

Dear 'cubanpete'...

You know, the brevity of it bothered me for a while because I imagined we could improve on it, but we couldn't. There's a reason for the phrase, "short & sweet", right? Thank you for auditioning it and leaving a comment.

Hi bluage,

Splendid very jazzy composition that you put on this platform. Good orchestration, all the instruments are fully expressed. It is very pleasant to listen to. Well done.

Nice tune. Good work to both of you. I expect Bogey to enter the room with a dame on his arm at any moment.

Hi bluage,

I really would like to listen to this track, but absolutely nothing happens when I click on the play button. Do I need to be signed up to SoundClick to be able to listen?

Will

Hi again.. I tried again... and now it works. It is a great and inspiring track! Very much a in a style I love. My only complaint is that it is too short... it is actually very, very short... With such a good idea you should have explored the harmonies more... smile

Anyway, I enjoyed listening a lot!
Will

Hi, Will Josef...

Concerning the brevity of the song, we probably could've added some more choruses with different solo instruments improvising over changes. It's just that we liked the idea of a 'moment' of music so concentrated in form and duration that its impact would be more intensely felt.

Really happy to read it had the desired effect on you!

Thank you for listening to it smile.
