Really enjoy this piece -- great feel, great groove, great players on all parts - recording is expertly produced. Piano and drums are the train, other parts ride along in conversation... could find a place in movie or tv scene.

Mix is solid im not big into jazz but I definitely respect it great job

Nice arrangement, instrumentation and song construction! Well done!

Nice shuffle/swinging groove to this jazz contemporary piece. I like the trumpet/horns throughout. The changes are nice and familiar, yet arranged in a way that keeps them fresh. As the piece progresses there seems to be some dashes of Dixieland interjected here and there. Very cool piece!

Great vibe, can't not get into the good feeling and flow Being a piano player I am partial to the keys, nice job, the horns/rhythm are equally stellar - I can see this used in lots of uses, but just as a listener, it's engaging and soooo nice on a Sunday morning. Sometimes jazz gets a bit too "intellectual" for me, but this was right on in every way. Music for humans. Really enjoyed!!!

Sextet opens with a shrugged shoulders sort of feel, like, just gonna let this happen however it does. And it does. A swingin', almost mournful 6/8 number. Cool progression, jammy feel. Nice interplay of trumpet, bone, sax beginning midway thru. Nice work.

Beautiful jazz piece. Trumpet and Sax doing call in answer as if they were reading each other's minds.

Tremendous sound on this recording and great playing. Sounds like 100% real instruments but who can tell these days?!

I dig it daddy-o. Could certainly find a home in a multitude of projects, films, or even video games alike. Solid performances, solid engineering even though you're not really doing any now tricks here. When it comes to Jazz... It's all about the flow and the collaboration between elements. You've done well to capture the expected vibe here... Good work.

This nice song put me in a happy mood this morning! Nice job on recording! If these aren't real horns I would be surprised!

I love the shuffle groove and the cool instrumentation - great trumpet sound! I like the laid back feel the rhythm section lays down.

Nice little swing feel to this. Very smooth transitions between the instrumentation, and the mix is good. Structure is solid. I really like the Dixieland Jazz feel towards the end of the song...nicely performed. Overall, I think this is a great piece. Bravo!!!

Breezy, happy-go-lucky feel. Nicely recorded with competent players. Especially enjoyed the trumpet.

Great song and arrangement. Very professional artistry and musicianship. Very relaxed tune with great changes. I always try to offer any help or critique I can, but really I think this is just great work all around. Great job!

Nice feel and shuffle groove.
