This is a work in progress.  Latin jazz legend Justo Almario - alto, David "Fingers" Haynes - drum and percussion programming, Jim Lownes - bass, Jonas Aras - piano.

I've gotten to the point where I'm burned out listening to this.  I'll probably add some piano comping under the saxophone solo, but I kinda like it as it is. 

Any and all comments, suggestions and insults are welcome!

Hi jonas, very nice, playing and production, can't say I like the tone of that bass though, but that's personal ; )

Jonas, nice to meet you. I love the overall quality. It's always nice to hear organic stuff.

This is a style of jazz that I dearly love, but rarely hear around these parts.  No crits here, it all sounds smooth and balanced.  The performances are top notch.  Very well done!

Sounds Great!  What a great song and some absolutely killer solos.  Not much I can say.  One thing I noticed is that the snare is too low compared to the toms in the drum solo.  And I was wondering what it would sound like in a room about 3 times as large?

You do some great stuff.  This is played nicely a recorded so well.  You guys are great musicians.  I think the piano comping is a good idea if you're not too burned out on the tune.  Some here, some there.

Thanks for all the kind words.  I just finished tracking two more songs which are more "outbound"/adventurous last night and I'll get back to mixing all this stuff in earnest.  

@Guitartrek: I'll definitely listen to the balance of the toms vs the snare and perhaps the reverb on the kit as well.  
Cheers,
J
