Nice!!!

Thanx Alan. I played in a wedding band for years thus I am a player of many genres but a master of none. Since I do not gig anymore I have carried that philosophy over to my BiaB songs. I am not afraid to try any genre and BiaB allows me to do so.

Hi Mario,

Something about the rhythm of the song reminded me of The Pink Panther, from the intro tune of Peter Sellers films.
You made it come back, but in your own creative way. Like f.i. that beautiful flute and the way it treats our/my ears.
And in a way it sounds timeless. Not specific the 50's or so. The Pink Panter was from a lot of years later too...
I really enjoyed it, because it is so nice.

Thanx Hans. I really hadn't thought about the Pink Panther until it was brought up in this thread. "The Pink Panther was from a lot of years later too", I know as I am old!

Mario,
Cool "walking" composition. Yeah, definitely feverish. Fuzzy bass sounds great and ACE work on winds. Has a live club mix. Good one. Thank you for sharing.

Misha, thanx so much for this very kind review. I really like working with that breath and keyboard controllers. They opened a whole new world for me.

Of course I know where you come from (I'm an old timer) and still do not use a digital thermometer! well I do.
Great tune, I'll have to use that style!

Hi Mario.

Wow! You've managed to channel Henry Mancini 😱!!! Amazing! This is a great listen. The introduction immediately captured me and, as the song developed, I kept on smiling at the new layers you introduced. As always, creativity and musicianship stand tall and proud in everything you do.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening smile

All the very best,
--Noel
