This is way cool. I like this a lot... maybe a little wet for my taste, I think less reverb would work better for this style. I should know... I used to be a lounge lizard, and read a lot of Raymond Chandler. grin;-)

Jazzy blues! I like it!

Nice and engaging. The clarinet and vibes sound great here.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Mike,

You do these Jazz tunes so well! When I hit play on one of your songs, I know it's going to be good! You spread the solo's around nicely here!

Enjoyed it all the way through!

Thanks, Torrey

Hello Mike,

What a nice composition you made! How bright do all the instruments sound. Especially that vibraphone. Like i'm standing next to it!
And don't forget the sax. Wonderful solo.
Have you played that yourself?

I think I asked it before: could you give more information on the used instruments from BiaB?
That would be nice.

Cheers,
Hans

Yow-zah, yow-zah, yow-zah, 'cubanpete'...

The cool side of the blues performed in a jazz context is given plenty of room to spread its nightwings and fly beneath a cloud-ringed moon in your composition! That baritone sax solo is Marlowe's lonesome voice for sure. The vibes solo could be the hopeful dialogue he's looking for to soothe his outsider blues.

Great, atmospheric, mood-setting music this most certainly is!
