Nice mix.  Each instrument sits very nicely.  Killer tone as always James..  Terry.. Love the piano.  Nice bass tone ED.  Very pretty tune, a great smooth jazz piece.

Good job guys, very nice

Interesting to hear the difference... I would prefer the drums come in earlier, but different voices than the previous kit...
I'm still hearing some timing issues with the bass... it comes in  a hair late, and it's just not there on a couple of critical downbeats...
I like what he's doing... but someone needs to zoom-in, split clips, and do some micro-surgery... move the bass track adjacent to the guitar track, zoom-in and visually line 'em up...   I love the music, by the way...

what a great piece, im in love with the main melody of the song, its beautiful James, your guitar work is just amazing in this song.
the piano is very nice as well and what can I say about the bass ? just great ed.

man I just keep going back to the melody, its great.
I would just die to hear this with lyrics some how built in to it.
the melody lines are big sellers/top 40 #1 hit stuff, the things hits are made of.

I didn't know what to expect when I hit play, I haven't listen to many of your songs.
I really liked this.

id love to critique it but I just cant im sorry, I felt everything was right there and where it needed to be.
could it have been recorded in a 5 million dollar studio and mastered at the record plant?
sure I would notice the difference but for polished/non polished mix, this is great.

thanks for sharing

Chuck, this may seem like bumping, but I don't care, 'cos you just made my day!  This piece started with the melody, and I'm so pleased you liked it.

came back for another listen today,true to my word, i love this piece.the melody's grow on you a lot.
I listened to the version without drums as well. just a great work of art.

Thanks again Chuck!

Thanks for the compliments Daryl! Not sure about 'smooth jazz' tho..

Thanks for coming back to it Frank, that's beyond the call of duty  At this point I'm stumped on the drums, I'm going to have to let it rest a while and come back to it. Tried a few things but nothing's sitting right.

That's a good thang... let it stew a while, and when you come back, it'll jump right out at ya... Just don't loose it...

Well done, fellas. Lovely lyrical tune.

I prefer mix 5 to 4 but as mentioned it sound like it need a little down time then some surgery to bring it together.

Nice tune like the melodies and tone look forward to hearing some more.

Hi, James,
 
I absolutely love this gorgeous piece of music, and think that you, Ed and Terry did a splendid job on this!
 
I love the classy sounding guitar work, Ed's bass sounds great, and Terry's piano adds a very fresh, delicate melody and sound texture to the overall mix.
 
I listened to both versions and really can't make up my mind on a preference, although, I think for some reason, I prefer the new mix with  the drums coming in toward the end.  It seems to showcase the melody lines and solos a bit more.
 
By the way, just a coincidence, the name of one of my High School bands was "Frostfire", named after a magical sword in a book that I read as a kid. :)
 
This new project sounds like it's really going great, James, lots of very cool stuff coming from you, keep 'em coming, my friend!
 
Best Wishes,
Bob
