Very nice.
 
Good to see you back Gary.

Wow, this is lovely stuff Gary! Really like your octave playing, and the phrasing throughout, sweet tones too. Top job!

Guitar tones alone make this a must listen. Fabulous.
 
Then the jazz changes, then the rhythm shifts, plus blues, plus cool improv runs. Loved it all.
 
Mix ideas: maybe bring the organ volume up, add just a little swing to your hi-hats when they are doing triplets (check out 3:03 area), and maybe a few mini-fills as your drums progress so the pattern isn't quite so static or machine like. The drums are great but  they could uses a "spice" hit now and again, to keep up with the buoyancy of the guitar lines.
 
And the weakest part of the tune I think is the very beginning. Starts pretty naked.
 
OK, the walking bass part at the end is absolutely awesome!!! The bass is on the quiet side but wow, what a cool ending.
 
Thank you for posting this, really cool.

When I first heard this, I thought WOW, I must be dreaming.  My first guitar teacher played a lot like you, in the great jazz tradition.  I'll be listening some more because you just can't get enough of this stuff.

Love the guitar tones! And the playing!

Hi all, nice to hear from some of the usual suspects! 
 
Ed (bapu) - Thanks for the listen, great to hear from you!
Daryl (Daryl1968) - Thanks, for the 'cool' words. I'm almost afraid to ask but, what is the 'Blue Peter Competition'?
James (James1213) - Hi James, I hope that you have been well! Thank you for the listen and kind words.
Dan (dcumpian) - Thank you for listening and for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated! 
 
Tom (emeraldsoul) - Thanks for listening and for you suggestions! There's another comment about the organ volume, too. Man, I always go around in circles with track volumes...I lower one instrument and then something else sounds too loud so I lower that and something else sounds too loud and on and on and on until all the track volumes are -25 db. So, what I'm getting at is, I think you're right but I'm afraid to touch anything because it might start the circle-of-death again Thanks again!
John (Wookiee) - Thanks for listening and not being 'churlish'! And for leaving a comment on Soundcloud as well!
Lynn - Thanks for the extremely kind words, Lynn. Much appreciated!
eph221 - Thank you, sir...I'm glad you liked it! 
Glyn Barnes - Thanks for taking to time to listen and leave a comment...glad you liked the tune.
biodiode - Thanks for the welcome and for taking to time to listen in spite of the whole genre thing. As for the organ volume, please see my response (excuse) to Tom (emeraldsoul)  Thanks again!
 

Steve (stevec) - Thanks for listening and taking the time to leave a positive message! I really enjoyed your tune (and your playing, etc...) 'Fading' 

When you picked up the tempo there were some wonderful guitar licks there.  Love the tone on the guitar. Backing track sounds like something Fagen might do -- very nice.  Mix is clean and the overall sound is extremely pleasing.  Good stuff   !!

Holy toledo, I thought I slipped up and put on the latest Larry Carlton track. You have a brand new fan as of this listen. As a huge jazz fan, this one got me smiling right down to a molecular level. Beautiful stuff. I would pay for your cd, where is it? I want to play like you when I grow up. Not enough superlatives to go around.

Excellent!!  I wish I had the knowledge, talent, and skill to play like this.  You make it sound so easy -- when it isn't.
I hope that you will be posting more like this.

This is hellya nice - I love me some blues and this is a nice bluesey tune with a nice touch of jazz. Your guitar playing is really clean and so tasty.
