[Link no longer valid] (Breaking Through)
This is another Jazz tune that I found a great set of real tracks to back me up with. They are the Smooth Jazz Cool SW 16 set. I played my Godin nylon string guitar over them and added several different synth parts. Hope someone enjoys it. Thanks, Torrey.

Hi Torrey,

The swing 16-beat feel is terrific. This is a very inventive production and mixed really well. This sounds like it's on the radio as I'm sitting here listening. Your guitar playing is fantastic. Not only are you technically skilful, you have a very highly developed sense of melody and articulation.

This is a really enjoyable listen.

Regards,
Noel

Torrey,

Very nice. Pro sound all the way. Nice playing - melodic, lyrical... Excellent mix.

Previously, you had song at Soundclick with vocals - that were terrific! Was that you singing? and why are they gone?

Enjoying your stuff... look forward to hearing more...

Floyd, thanks so much for the positive remarks on my song. I recently removed some songs from soundclick because I felt they needed some more work. I (for better or worse) do all my vocal work. I do have one song with vocals (Mountains) still up on soundclick that I will eventually introduce to this forum. Thanks, Torrey.

Outstanding! That nylon sounds wonderful -- your playing
and the tone. Great mix also with a really good drum sound.

Laid back but packed with great licks and creativity.

Yep, we really enjoyed it.

A BIG +1

Great backing tracks and super chops! I love smooth jazz and you did it super justice here. If I heard this in a store I would buy the CD!

It doesn't surprized me that you are #1 in the smooth jazz chart.

Thanks MarioD, I appreciate the encouraging words

Nice work. You did a nice job of playing in a way that fit very nice with the style you chose. Very enjoyable.

Your talents and skills are on display!
