Thanks, each one of you, for your kind comments!

Hans: you were right, something was off with the arrangement, be it the drums or something else ... so I've basically re-done it! I hope it sounds better now? See what you think :-)

dcuny: the syncopation was on purpose :-) I selected a swinging style, against an even style in the solo melody ... et voila! haha. See what you think of the new version? Thanks for listening!!!

THANKS, one and all!!!
