James,

Nice instrumental groove on this. What strikes me most is the percussion section, which sits wonderfully in the mix and really supports the song. The jazz lead solo is also right where it should be, intriguing but also just taunting the ear (I get Mario's comment, but for me I think it's where it needs to be--a subjective thing for sure). Might be the best instrumental I've heard from you. You are more reserved in your chord changes which allow that guitar to do its thing. Like the harmonic touches on the piano. Really a terrific mix!

All my best,

Deej
