Thanks in advance.  This is the only time I have asked for votes on here but a winner would look good on Cakewalk and Sonar products.  Pensado is a hardcore Pro Tools user.

Really like it a lot! Very interesting track: drums and horn. Around 2:52 maybe have the drums use brushes to tame it down a bit and bring it back around 3:58.

Hey Brett, 
Are you using precorded tracks in this contest, or are they something you recorded?  If you can, I would recommend taming that continually ringing snare a bit...it sounds like long reverb almost.  In contrast, the horns are very dry.

This New Orleans-y tune might sound really good with a club-type ambience on the whole mix...give those horns a space.

Otherwise very good job!  I'm listening on laptop cans, so can't speak about EQ much.

Hi Brett, I listened to and voted for you in the contest -- I am an Indaba member as well. You can listen to my latest entry on my soundcloud link in the signature or the long messy link below. As much as I like your entry, I think there are a lot of strong entries on Indaba in general and this contest in particular. Completely subjective view: i think it is really really hard to standout/differentiate with jazz instrumental remixes. Nice job, nonetheless. http://api.awe.sm/url/sha...Fsubmissions%2F136581&

Good luck in the contest.  I enjoyed this bit of music because it's something rarely heard around here.

These are made available as stems to mix.  As I recall, there was only 13 tracks in this one.  I did not record these.  These are good for me to help learn the art.  The last one I entered was 83 stems!  That put me and my system to the test.

If you voted, thanks for your support.

Ya got my vote.  :-)
