Good Evening everyone.

This is a new direction for me for at least half of the track, a kind of Jazz number. 
Feedback is much appreciated as always.

Updated to include some of the advice given.:

Thanks

Hey that Isabella chick is "hot..." This is different for you. That sax hits a few stinky notes, not many, you know where there are.

I like your tune. It morph's in to a more traditional you.

THE NIGHT FOX
Mark this sounds very nice , I did think the Sax was just a bit over the top with the rest of the mix . Maybe alittle reverb on the Sax would sound good  but not too much .
The song sounds great but as soon as the Sax started everything else behind it sort got lost in my ears . Bring down the Sax and add alittle reverb to the Sax , it sounded to me like it was too dry in the mix .

I like the tune - James

I agree with the night fox, too loud and dry that sax is.

(a bit of melodyne on those sour notes will help them too)

Other than that it all comes together well.

 Hey Mark, I really liked the song. I would agree with the others on the sax needing sweetened up slightly with some reverb. If it were me I might even experiment with a very slight delay on the sax.This is JMO, right around 1:32-1:39 the cymbals seem to be a little overdone for my taste...JMO and only MO though. Nice work !

I agree with the others about the sax, but this is a good song in search of the right mix.  A tweak here and a tweak there, and you're good to go.

Thank you all for your input. Will get to work on the sax and cymbals.

Agree with the comments so far. It's not far away. Do the tweaks and you're done. I liked it overall, but not sure about the Jazz Funk description personally. Don't know what it is exactly , but I wouldn't call it that.

Dude that has such an Enigma vibe. I hardly hear that anywhere else. I'm torn about the sax sound. Maybe if you ran it through the Cakewalk Amp Sim w/ a vinyl sample you could make it sound like it's from an old record. The melody is perfect. It sounds weary.
