Hi Mario.
It's been so long since I last heard to you play jazz that I'd forgotten just how superb your skills are.
This is delightful listening. I love the guitar work. It sits so comfortably against the backing. You're also really skillful with the wind controller. You're definitely a music-making force to be reckoned with!
While I have EZ Keys, I've never tried the electric, Wurlitzer piano sound. It's awesome and sits really nicely on the ears.
There's nothing I'd change about this.
It's two confident thumbs up from me!
All the best,
Noel

Happy tune, could also be called In a happy mood  Very enjoyable atmosphere, all the instruments are playing like a true band - together live - I can almost see the players smiling. Sax, piano, solo guitar - everything sounds great and the chord progression is very authentic. You always manage to surprise by experimenting with different styles and moods. Janne

Great fun!!! The stops at around the 2 minute mark were great fun, also. Nice one - had me tapping all the time.

Hi Mario,
Really smooth sound. I've never really heard of a wind controller before. I especially thought the breaks were kind of fun like they were some kind of indicator of a big dance number or something. Very creative and a good listen!

I played in a wedding band for years so I was exposed to many genres of music. Thus I am a jack of all trades but a master of none. Thanx for the kind review.

Now wait a minute...as I recall you have complained about the "old fingers" but that guitar is smoking! Love the chops...and tone.
We are always amazed by you and the wind controller and this is not an exception.
Most enjoyable!

Definitely a mood piece. And the mood is "the night is young, but I'm a wee bit tired so I think I'll just chill and grin." Put a smile on my face.

Hi Mario,
Well, I was surprised hearing you make Jazz songs as well! And not just an ordinary Jazz song. You did very very well.
And then I read your answer to Janne(san) and that explained everything. You can play all kinds of music!
I didn't hear wobbling piano's or reverb on the sax just a good song! Even for someone who isn't a huge fan of Jazz songs (that's me).
I think it's because you do funny things on the sax, have short breaks and all that sort of things to make a song interesting.
Enjoyed it,
Hans

J&B J&B, yes these of arthritic fingers are not as good as they once was! At times I have a real problem fingering some jazz chords! Soloing isn't a major problem and hope that it never will be a major problem. Thanx for listening and commenting. I greatly appreciate that.

Mario,
Very cool sax / wind playing! Neat composition.
I think drums are hot (squashed?, not sure what is the proper term). Also, I know this is a matter of taste, but I like sax to have more reverb.... of course not every tune, but in this one it might do good.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
