Another 'Sunday' take it easy instrumental which perfectly hits the vibe. I recently turned 75 and while I expected it to be just another day it turned out really frustrating as I opposite to you I spent hours working on a new song and it just wouldn't come together and so I scrapped all related files! It was probably the mist frustrating birthday I ever had!  … It's okay, I got over it and continued work on a song I've been trying to get vocals sorted for for 2 years, and with Lucy and 2 other ladies doing BVs it should end up a fun corker!

#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.

A lovely track, Mario, and what a professional sound! Each of the solo instruments give way to the others beautifully. So well put together.
That EZ Keys piano is sweet too.

A very happy birthday to you, Mario! Love that slow late night lounge styled jazz, and it sounds like you're a cat that's mastered it.
John Thanx John. I love lounge jazz, especially those late night slow songs. I'm glad that you liked it.

Mario,
The guitar solo and swam trumpet are both fantastic.
It reminds me of a live performance at a jazz bar.
Even if not jazz fans, the play will relax their heart.
Jazz fans will enjoy it even more.
The piano and bass also create a great atmosphere.
You really are a MIDI master.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thanx so much Shigeki. Although I have been using MIDI since the mid 1980s I'm no means a master. Just a musician whom loves to play.

Ooo, that opening piano is so inviting. Thanks for inviting us to your birthday bash, Mario. The entertainment was outstanding. The melody you devised for the trumpet was so good, and then that guitar knocked me over with goodness. What a wonderful sound, Mario. Marty, thanx for this wonderful review. I'm glad you liked that trumpet, an instrument that I used to play, and the guitar, an instrument I'm still trying to play. I'm glad that you liked it.

Excellent choice of style for a charming ballad. Very fine mastery of the trumpet and guitar.

Lately we've been watching a lot of Scenic Relaxation 4K videos on Youtube.
They are stunningly well shot and cover many countries and themes. And watched by millions.
Why mention that?
Well, your music would be perfect backgrounds for them.
Better than what they use.
Happy B'day and thanks for this great tune. Love, as always, your performances.
J&B Thanx so much Janice and Bud for this wonder review. PS - thanx for mentioning Scenic Relaxation. I had not heard of that one. I love that genre so I pinned it to my taskbar.
