This instrumental has very warm sunny summer feeling, especially in the strings and piano - everything mixed nicely together. Enjoyable chord progression. Good listen when heat wave is knocking on the door

Janne

Alan,

No one writes this style of music better than you... You have such a subtle touch - everything fits together so well and has a voice.

Loved it!

Bob

Loved this piece Alan. Loved the the guitar sound Fooled me at the first few notes. Almost sounded like a sax. Very cool.

You are the chord master on these instrumentals, Al- so smoothly done and enjoyable in all respects.

Robert

I really like this one Alan...
It is a joy to listen to!

I enjoyed this, it brought me back to the 70s and my collection of CTI jazz albums. Great stuff!

The band sounds great - mellow and jazzy!

What a nice tune! I really enjoyed listening to this.
Good choice of instruments and very well produced!

It was like listening to an early record from Larry Carlton or Lee Ritenour - very 70/80-ish.

Looking forward to hear more music from you!
Will

Alan

Very nice indeed. An excellent production.

Peter

Alan - I had to quote Bob here. He stated it perfectly. So well done!

Sounds like a George Benson track...

fj

Alan,
perfect tune to start my day! Very nice arrangement and mix!
All you need is to find a light jazz vocalist to sing out melody


Thank you for sharing!

Misha.

Really well done! Love the upbeat vibe to this - definitely matches the weather where we are lately. Smooth as butter, and nice and easy on the ears. Reminds me of Bob James a bit.

Thanks for sharing

Lovely combo. This has a "live" in studio sound that works wonderfully. Excellent movement of the harmonies/progression and the lead is killer. Just great.

That is an amazingly cohesive sound from those RT's. Like the artists have played together for a while (maybe they have )

You have a wonderful ear for these compositions -- like Bob said "a subtle touch) and we always enjoying you sharing them with us.

J&B

Thanks for sharing this Al-David! This definitely has a breezy vibe to it. The strings really help harmonize everything too. Nice work!

Hi Janne ...

Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the listen and nice comments.

Alan

Hi Bob ...

Thank you so much. Those very kind words put a smile on my face. I'm totally delighted you liked it. Thanks again.

Alan

Scott ...

Many thanks for those kind comments. It's really cool you think the song is cool! Again, thanks so much ...

Alan

Hello Robert ...

You are much too kind ... but I'll find a way to deal with it. This is my favorite genre for instrumentals. Thank you very, very much. Best to you ...

Alan

Thank you very much, Jim. It was a joy to read your very nice comment! Best ...

Alan

Good Afternoon ...

Thanks so much for you really kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. And yes, those albums were terrific! Best to you ...

Alan

Good Afternoon ...

Mellow and Jazzy was the exact sound I was striving for. I'm more than delighted it came across as such. Thank you again for the very kind words. Best ...

Alan

Hi Will ...

70s Smooth Jazz was my goal. Glad it listens as such. I like Larry Carlton a lot but I'm a huge fan of Lee Ritenour. Pat Metheny, too. I have quite a few of these I've not yet posted. I'll throw one in here and there. A lesser-known jazz guitarist in more recent years, but with that nostalgic sound we're talking about, is Paul Brown. I like him as lot, too.

Thank you very much for your warm and encouraging words. Best to you ...

Alan

Peter ...

Man y thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know! Best to you ...

Alan

Hi Floyd ...

Thank you for the nice comments! I appreciate them very much. I'm a hug George Benson * Wes Montgomery fan. But I thought this one has more of a Paul Brown sound, although the George Benson influence is also prevalent - it's hard fopr me to get away from it.

Again, many sincere thanks. Best you and yours.

Alan

Nice one Alan!

Thanks so much, David! Much appreciated!!!

Thank you very much, Jim. Glad you like it! best to you ...

Alan

Nice one, Alan!

You own the smooth jazz instrumental genre here as far as I'm concerned, just a very well thought out and produced track.

Just what I needed to hear along with my first coffee of the day

Really pretty Alan!! Nice changes throughout and a sweet mix. A delightful tune!! Take care. Greg

love it,

nice chord choices and a good mix

enjoyed the listen,

Kenny

Davem Greg and Kenny ...

Thanks so much! I really enjoy writing this style of music ... glad you enjoy listen to my efforts. Much appreciated. Best to all of you.

Alan

Well done - cool progression. I'm not a Brent fan but his stuff on this certainly did sound as cliched as in his other styles.
Nice backing.

Hi Alan,

I know I'm late for the party, but you know the reason for that.

This is another very fine piece you delivered !!!! I'm a big admirer of your compository abilities, and this one is just another evidence of your musicality. Great playing and I just have to repeat it over and over again: So tasteful !!!

Hope you and Di are good; take care

Stefan

PS: Just to make sure we didn't miss each other: In your last reply you announced a PM. I do hope that it didn't get lsot between our PCs, because I never got one. Of course, this doesn't mean that I expect you to send one, but sometimes they do get lost and I don't want you to think I was impolite and forgot to reply...

hi alan great job putting this together love the progression on this its perfect thanks for sharing eric

Another great instrumental by you guys, so smooth and developed!!! I love it. cliff

Hi Alan and Di,

I hope that all is travelling as well as possible for you both.

Just this morning, I discovered that there are couple of your songs that have completely bypassed me. I'm now in the process of listening to them.

I absolutely love this instrumental. It is a delight to listen to. You always manage to discover chord progressions that soothe the soul and satisfy the ear. Everything about this sits wonderfully well together and creates a fine musical journey.

Sending my best thoughts your way,
Noel

Nice arrangement Alan! Man I love that stuff!! You've got a good feel for smooth jazz! You sure made it happen here! Thanks, Torrey

Wow! This is so, so cool!!!

Just a delight!
