This song is on the CD, "Red Mesa Sunset". Many of my instrumentals are long compositions. They are MEANT to be that way. I want this music to me hypnotic and great as background music you can relax, meditiate and chill out to. I CAN cut these songs down for use in TV and film and ohter uses. As a singer-songwriter, too, I know all about the 3-4 song, This song and other like it that I compose are created for an totally different purpose. Get some nice head phones, sit back, close your eyes, relax and let this music take you away. Also, I have had many people who have told me that they love to play this song on their iPods while they excercise at their health clubs. I tried it and I happen to agree.Enjoy!

Love the piano work and the rhythm. Piece definitely moves thru feelings in a slow deliberate way--- as an extended piece it would serve underscore duty in the proper tv or movie scene or montage... Love also the use of hand drums.. it makes a unique juxtaposition with the melodic piano lines... you would usually think of brushes on a drum kit for this piano work but the hand drums make it very unique to me

Slow buildup into nice melody and chord changes, sort of get the sense of a slow building but certain change or realization.It has a modern pop/jazz feel more than classic jazz, if it were guitar I'd say it sounds similar in mood to some Pat Metheny /Gary Burton stuff, only without the instrumental virtuosity.It might get into a sound track as is.

Beautiful arrangement and composition. Very Smooth jazzy, soundtracky good stuff. Tasty work!

Beautiful song. Very tranquil and relaxing. Love the piano, percussion and acoustic bass on this. Very nice piece indeed

To my ears, this straddles the line between jazz and pop instrumental, but it probably is marketed better as a jazz song. I like the arrangement, and the hook stays with you. The B section sounds really cool and complements the A section well.

Loved the transition from intro to beginning of the song

I like this song, my first impression was I got a relaxed feeling and a sensation of being at the beach at the end of an afternoon appreciating the view... I like the simple instrumentation, the light percussion and piano lead. I also like how it keeps the same mood throughout the song, not having too many ups and downs. Nice job!

Great Piano Mix nice intro, very peaceful makes you relax and enjoy life. The congas are nice, Love that Percussion section, overall a good mood for the major minor augmented ect. chord progressions, the Acoustic Bass fits well. very nice brig.

nice and relaxing piece of music, well done

This is a nice calming piece with lots of nice things going on! The percussion is nice, but the main rhythm track is buried in the mix. Piano is lovely and presents a nice melody! I don't how others view the "...have market potential", but I view it from all possible uses (e.g. licensing and publishing) not just radio airplay. So, considering that I think this is a marketable track for the right application and I can hear it in a movie scene or related. Nice transitions and color provided by the oceanic sounds! Good work!

enjoyable...well done.....
