Opps!
I guess I got carried away with bragging on Justo.
 
Jonas, this is a great song.  I'm a fan.  The drums are believable and the mix sounds great.

Just fantastic - thoroughly enjoyed this. Reminds me a bit of the Yellow Jackets.

Bravo, I enjoyed a great deal

Great work guys. Hats off to you all.

Mark.

@ blipp, Lynn, CLEAN, ohgrant and mstodge: Thank you for your words of encouragement.  This recording project is finished and I've gotten to the point where I can barely listen to it anymore, so it's great to hear that the music hits the mark.

@sharke: Jim's bass, a Yamaha 6-string John Pattitucci (not the greatest instrument) was tracked either through a UA 710 Twin Finity or a Grace 101 preamp.  I gave it a little EQ bump at around 250 and I gave the kick a little cut in the same area. I used a UAD DBX160 compressor at a 3:1 ratio with no more than 5 dB gain reduction.  I think that Ray Ferretti would tell you that he was reaching into his Holdsworth bag on this track.

At Leizer and Psalmist35: I share your enthusiasm for Justo Almario.  What you are hearing is the first take!  The first part of the blowing changes are weird and difficult to navigate, at least for mortals.  I thought I was going to trip him up a bit. Maybe next time ;-D  He is THAT good!

Cheers,
J

Very well done, Jonsa and friends.  Instruments and mix are top notch.  

Excellent number.  Kudos to you all.
 

I probably know more about country than I do Jazz, but this sounded pretty OK to my unflattering ear. Great teamwork guys.

@Warren, Freddy J and foxwolfen: Thanks for taking the time to listen.  

If this is getting across to a country music listener I must be doing something right....I think ;-D

Hi Jonas,

Top notch composition, playing and mix/production. Really excellent work from everyone involved.
