Marty, Your vocals fit this genre like a glove! The chord choices are spot-on and inspire me to think out of the 1-4-5 box. Is the cool solo that sounds like a xylophone actually the 'vibes' listed in your instruments?

Hi Marty. Are you dancing down the street like Gene Kelly in this one, or sitting at the piano with a cigarette between your lips?
Nice one

Classic jazz ballad complemented with Marty's mystery vibe! Everything is just perfect, melody, chords, the band, the vibes solo, the singer. But the true beauty is in the lyrics. Such vivid images of inner fire turn into a movie in front of my eyes (even without seeing the colorful video with attractive looking ladies).

S-l-o-w jazz...so cool...your eclectic side is showing again Marty...at first I was wondering, "who is this guy singing?'...the range, texture and softness of the vox threw me for a second...this is super!...I hope this will be on your album...its uniqueness is a great chance to show off your versatility...hey give us some bluegrass next time round! Thanks, Dan. Funny you said that about Bluegrass. Please stay tuned. It's way too jazzy for my personal taste, but man, I LOVE your vocals in it. I see a second career as a jazz singer for you  Ha! Thanks, Brain. There's an expression I heard guitar players say when satisfied with their tuning: "Close enough for jazz." That's not true for the vocalist, so... not me.  Marty, Your vocals fit this genre like a glove! The chord choices are spot-on and inspire me to think out of the 1-4-5 box. Is the cool solo that sounds like a xylophone actually the 'vibes' listed in your instruments?
Dewey Thanks, Dewey. Yep, vibraphone and xylaphone are quite different, but you got it. Really nice work Marty!
Great chord progression and arrangement. Love the sound! Thanks, David!

Gorgeous song and production, Marty. I'll be the video took yonks to put together. I've only once used Creative Commons footage for a video and found it a pain getting it altogether and timing the images to the music. I'll never do it again! 
Some favourite Waoist Adages: #1: Play on the Way. #13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you. #58: Bring consciousness to it. #63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made. #92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hi Marty excellent vocal great choice of real tracks thanks for sharing FMM Thanks for saying so, Eric. Hi Marty. Are you dancing down the street like Gene Kelly in this one, or sitting at the piano with a cigarette between your lips?
Nice one
Vic Well, if he had found the girl again, he might've learned to enjoy the rain. But obsessing without the potential he imagined, his lamenting piano music with swirling smoke was inevitable. Thanks, Vic. Classic jazz ballad complemented with Marty's mystery vibe! Everything is just perfect, melody, chords, the band, the vibes solo, the singer. But the true beauty is in the lyrics. Such vivid images of inner fire turn into a movie in front of my eyes (even without seeing the colorful video with attractive looking ladies). Janne [/quote Thanks, Janne. One thing I'll whole-heartedly agree with you on is those ladies really hit the spot. [quote=WaoBand]Gorgeous song and production, Marty. I'll be the video took yonks to put together. I've only once used Creative Commons footage for a video and found it a pain getting it altogether and timing the images to the music. I'll never do it again!  Thanks, WaoMan Chay. Man, you're right about curating vidz for songs. Not much creative fun there. Love it Marty!!! Never heard you do one in this style, but you do it VERY well!! Personally, I love the way you sing!! Take care. Greg Wow, Greg! Thanks! Coming from one of my all-time favorite singers (and I meant that), that means a lot.

More Marty Magic coming soon?
The first words that come to mind are suave and satisfying. I don't know if you've heard of Snooky Lansom from the late 40s and early 50s, but this one reminded me of him. Yeah, I'm nearly an antique!
This style suits your voice so perfectly. This is just so good. What a treat for the ears. You're a talent machine, my friend!

No mystery here, Marty; the vibe is good. This is a clever, catchy song that swings in its own relaxed groove. I enjoyed the lyrics which kept me interested all the way to the end. The laidback vocals sat right in the pocket. Mike
