It's called "I'm Sorry"
Thanks for listening!

Sweet!
This is right up my street.
I can't get enough sax these days, I listen to Boney, Sanborn, Steve Cole, Candy Dulfer, and many more.
Love this.
Thanks.
Regards,

Wonderfully smooth. The entry to the song was rather abrupt, sample wise.
Maybe add an extra second of silence up front and a fast fade in during the silence. Eliminate the abrupt start.

All your other songs seem to start smoothly already, so whoever mixed this already knows what to do.
They just missed a little on the start of this one. Wouldn't be you, would it?

Nice style. Nice syncopation, nice bass, smooth drums. (all the songs, not just the one.)
Nice pan placement and sonic separation of the parts (EQ). Everyone had their own space.

You are obviously pro or semi. Vegas? Sure. You play out.

I'm an every day fan of jazz. As far as sax players, my tastes run more toward Ben Webster and Paul desmond than a lot of contemporaries. However, I loved Zow, the dark undercurrent, the street hipster feel of it. Ed Would begins with wordplay, and then goes into outer space. I wish they'd get ahold of this at my local jazz station, in your hometown of Long Beach, KKJZ 88.1(used to be KLON). I'm Sorry needs no apology. Lively and syncopated, it'll make my girl glad she came with me to the club tonight, get her feet moving, and got the chops to satisfy me too. great work. I'll be happy to hear more.

6271sax,

What clef/key are you planning on using for this instructional book? I'd suggest various clef's, maybe available as a link from a web site, so lazy guitarists like me (who don't want to transpose) could learn from your book. I'd be interested in buying your book.

Very nice sax... just great sound and great feel as well. Loved the groove of the track.

Critically, what would improve the track in my mind would be to have a little more 'sensitive' drum/perc track. Right now it just seems to chug along beside the rest of the track. Maybe small tweaks of the loop or a few flourishes to indicate that its a living, breathing part of the track.

But overall nice mix, nice sounds, nice separation. Tasteful and mature musicianship!

Very high class as usual. Very Proffessional. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. It is SO nice to listen to this relaxing and well composed music. I have to ask you: What piano/Rhodes you are using? And what mike are you using for sax? The sound is as fabulous as the composition.

Fep, I'm actually planning a Guitar version with tablature above the notation....

I can read music notation much quicker than tablature and I'd guess that is true for the majority of guitarist that would be interested in your book. I was just saying I'd prefer it in concert pitch as opposed to being written for a Bb or Eb instrument and I think having concert pitch versions would be good for expanding the market for your book. I hope I'm using the correct terms here, the guitar is a 'concert pitch' instrument - sort of, the note will sound one octave lower than written when played on a guitar.
