I found this very relaxing to listen to. Brought to mind a smokey club with a high class feel.

Nice!

Mike, you know that I am a big sucker for lounge jazz so you know that I am going to love this! If you would have added some background chatter and glasses clicking I would have sworn that I was in a small jazz club.

This is an outstanding piece of music.

You are a superb writer ... this is incredibly beautiful. That saxophone, also, is something else, in the context of this song - brilliant choice. Beautiful use of the hummed voices, too, right towards the end. Superbly done - I didn't want it to end.

Wow - this is a great showcase of strong songwriting abilities. Excellent use of the RealTracks - I love how atmospheric it is. A great example of well executed lounge jazz. Easy on the ears and instantly sets a mood.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Hi Mike ...

I always have a smile on my face as I click onto one of your tracks because I know it's gonna a great listen. And this is no exception. Love the melody and , of course, the lounge element. I don't smoke, never have, but I found myself looking for a pack of my late brother's Lucky Strikes. Thanks for a marvelous listen ... totallt loved it! Best to you ...,

Another classy and elegantly produced jazz track. I really like the balance between the instruments and sense of space that you create. Excellent choice and use of the mm's as well. As Mario and others commented about the jazz lounge feel, totally agree - if I closed my eyes, I could imagine that smoky club, with the swinging bass player, and all the rest.

Had to have another listen. My time here is very limited, but sometimes you run across something you just have to hear again. Glad I did!
