Mario,
Neat laid back tune. Cool & memorable guitar passages! That SWAM sax sounds very realistic. Easy listen. Good one. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Nice interplay between the guitar and sax. Strings could've been a tad louder for my ears, but only a tad. Really love that Swam and wind controller combo you have, it's a great sound. Excellent work here.

Sounding good, Mario!
Sax sounds great, and I really like the lines you are playing on the guitar. Love the interplay between the two. For my tastes the guitar could be a bit louder, but that's a minor quibble.
One word summary, "class".

Yikes! You sat down and produced this in just 1 day? I need more than that just to sketch out the concept!
Nice work, especially the sax.

Hi MarioD
I was shocked by the sound, so real and authentic!!! If I close my eyes I am among an audience that listens relaxed to the band. I have enjoyed it very much. The sweetness of the guitar is enviable.
Stay well
I did not know that to live I had to die so many times

I'm not really the biggest fan of jazz, but your song is a nice listen. I like best what you do yourself, the guitar and the saxophone

Misha. Thanx so much Misha for for listening and those very nice comments. Nice interplay between the guitar and sax. Strings could've been a tad louder for my ears, but only a tad. Really love that Swam and wind controller combo you have, it's a great sound. Excellent work here. Thanx so much. My wind controller has died so this was done with a MIDI keyboard controller and expression pedals.

Nice work, especially the sax.
Sometimes it only takes a few hours for me to whip up a song and other times it may take weeks. Sometimes us analytical types have to let go and let our creative side take over.

Stay well Thanx for those extremely nice comments. That guitar is a $300 Jay Turser jazz box with flat wound strings through Amplitube 5. I really like the sound of it. I'm not really the biggest fan of jazz, but your song is a nice listen. I like best what you do yourself, the guitar and the saxophone Thanx for listening and commenting on a genre that is not on the top of your music list. I appreciate that.

Hey Mario ...
Finally ghot over hear to listen. And man, am I'm glad I did! Your guitar tone reminds me of bnoth Hern Ellis and, to a slightly lesser degree, Barney Kessel. I love Big Band swing ballads and this one is just so good!@
I always love when the producer decides the sax, particularly tenor sax, needs just a touch more reverb.
Really nioce all the way! loved my listen.
Stay warm!

Very different Mario in a good way. Cool laid backtrack. Boy they do a good job of the virtual instruments. That sax was excellent. Guitar was excellent as well. Cool phrasing and precise playing. Well done

(It was 74 degrees here in Niorthern Alabama today.) Thanx so much Alan for this wonderful review. However don't even think about putting my name in the same sentence with Herb or Barney; those cats could really play!
