now this is interesting, my 1st attempt at “melodic Jazz” but that’s not the interesting part, this music makes-up stuff in your brain, you will hear notes that are “assumed notes” , they are not actually playing, your brain fills them in…

    nice work.  what are you using for the instruments?  is this all from the Motif?

    you've got a lot of silence at the begining and the end, I'd snip that out if I were you.

    I like all the interplay. It did have a nice quality that drew me in and made me want to listen a little closer than normal, if that makes sense. Now you're going to have to attempt some more.

    Could it be that I've gotten so used to over-compressed bass boosted sounds that the dynamics of the sax part were kindof startling?  My initial reaction was that there was too much in the sax at points, but I may need to think differently about it.  Great tune.

    I like this tune, but I felt that it was a little choppy. Maybe that's what you intended, but I had a hard time flowing with it. I listened to the playback in 1080 as you suggested, and at other resolutions, and I didn't hear that much of a difference. I feel this tune is incomplete as it is now.

    All the best,

    I just hear what is being played!
    ??

    Sounds okay I guess, different, don't think it is all that choppy though, but I doubt if I am putting in notes though.

    I just listened again at the default setting, and it played smoothly all the way through.  When I switched to 1080, it broke up.  I usually don't have any problems playing youtube videos at 1080, but I rarely hear much difference in sound at lower settings although it makes a big difference with the video quality.  Much better this time around.

    Like the song, good effort. Not sure I get the bit about hearing notes that aren't there but like the tune. Regards

    There's a distant quality to the entire mix which isn't to my taste.  Some drum fills and a bridge that has some harmonic changes would be a nice contrast as well.

    I like the song a lot. I wouldn't call it jazz though. It has jazz elements as well as tangos but mostly it has a pop feel. I don't hear that notes made up thing you type of though.

    The mix seems good.

    Excellent tune and very well done!

    this music makes-up stuff in your brain, you will hear notes that are “assumed notes” , they are not actually playing, your brain fills them in…


    Don't know about that, but it's a very nice piece. Had to rip the headphones off at 1:14, that sax hurt...

    The cello sample seems out of place here somehow, maybe it's the quality as the rest sounds really crisp.

    Pretty good sax sound.  Sweet little tune, I liked it.  Needs some guitar though

    Good work.

    Just an FYI ,this is not really classic jazz, Jazz at it's core is conversational, not melodic, and far more complex then this little melodic tune. but "this", does have a slight jazzy sense / feel, I do recognize you guys listening and feeding back.
    As always, this is very much appreciated.

    Not something I'd normally listen, but this is just great!  Love that piano playing...and everything going on.  Great sax.  Love the drums.  Really really cool piece!  :)
