Mario,
This is the "lounge sound" at its finest... Love the guitar and piano tracks. Outstanding trumpet track!

Mario, super laid back jazz fun! That EP(?) makes a great anchor instrument. Love your jazz guitar tone and the octave lines were really cool. Nice, smokey playing on the Swam trumpet, as always. Hey, is it wrong to have an AFTER after hour jazz place? If so, I'm in!
Haven't thought about Leisure Suit Larry in years. Floppy disks and VGA graphics were SO cool back in those days. Ha!

Another really nicely balanced instrumental, Mario. Love the guitar and the Swam trumpet.

Bob Thanx so much Bob. The piano track is verbatim from the BiaB style. Another really nicely balanced instrumental, Mario. Love the guitar and the Swam trumpet. Thanx, I appreciate your comments.

Mario, this is my sort of music.
The Swam trumpet works a treat. Well done. The trumpet player even sounds a bit tipsy, adding to the "last drinks" ambience.
The guitar is just right - a beautiful tone.
Cheers,
Mike

The vibe is nailed and the name of the lounge is worth the price of admission. We were reminded of a jazz lounge we visited in Charleston years ago. We were walking by, heard something like this, and ended up staying a good while!  As always great tracks including your engaging instrumental performances. Nice open airy mix too. Well done, J&B

Well done, J&B Thanx so much Janet and Bud. The title came from an old video game I used to play called Leisure Suit Larry the Lounge Lizard. It was about a total loser going from bar to bar trying to pick up girls, but he always failed! It was a hilarious game to play. Thanx for the kind review.

Dang, you're creativity has no limits, Mario. This is really cool. I can see the lingering patrons --some still trying to dance the last slow one, others slumped over their tables. Leisure Suit Larry is in the back counting money. The band is looking forward to getting together in an hour at Motown for another nightly session. They're playing at Cuban Pete's tomorrow, and they'll do it all over again.

Be sure to check out the next jam at Cuban Pete's, hopefully maestro Mike will let us stay and listen!

Nicely done Mario.
I realy like the interplay between the piano and your trumpet work.
Good job.
https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677BiaB 2026 Windows For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Not my genre, but what you do with the trumpet is really amazing, I wouldn't have thought that wasn't a real trumpet.
Very well done, Mario!

No wind controller this time?
Interesting mostly mono image...if the tone were a little darker it'd sound like an old jazz recording.
Cheers
