Thanks, Jonas, I'm glad you enjoyed the tune!  The distance aspect was intentional and very much an artistic choice.  Colors and all that.    Although at some point I may try a "closer mic'd" version just for fun. 
 
Thanks, Daryl!  I enjoy trying to eek out "real" performances from virtual instruments, but mostly it's been orchestral type stuff in the past.  Doing the same on a much smaller scale was definitely a change but a good one to do.  I appreciate the feedback!

Wow, this is awesome Steve, It's most certainly does sound like a live jazz band. Tip top work.

Very cool Steve. I thought the piano was too loud and wide when it entered but I got used to it as the song progressed. There was certainly the feeling of a large hall or maybe church type venue, which really suits the music. Keep going with that style, I think you have a flair for it.

@Gus - Thanks!  And the band thanks you as well.   
 
@Wayne - Thank you!  I can feel another tune in this style coming somewhere along the line...  Funny, I thought the same thing about the piano but figured maybe it was an aural illusion since its level doesn't change that much over the course of the tune, and it's just that first few lines.  I blame it on the venue.    

way cool, Steve!  you absolutely killed the live practice session sound!
 
nice work - great performances!

Thanks, Reece!    And the band thanks you as well.
