Cool atmospheric feel to this piece, you guys created exactly the desired effect of an intimate Jazz night.

Cool jazz! You capture the feeling of late night jam in a small jazz club very well. It is swinging and a very nice job on the "saxophone" - sounds very authentic.
I enjoyed this!

Think I've heard this one very often in the past. It could be that it was on the television every time a certain show started, but I don't remember exactly.
I like this version because it has got such a Jazz Club feeling. It really feels like you are playing only for me. Perhaps all SC listeners are thinking that.
Nice performance guys! This one is surely underrated.

Got that small club feel all right. That piano is killer, and the sax had to be tricky - well played!

A great tribute to Benny Golson a jazz legend. I believe you captured it rightly...Awesome dude. Your synth sax is wonderful.

Great great performance! I like this one really much Michael! Extraordinary (synth)-Sax lead, the feeling of a small Jazz lounge and the intimate atmosphere within is asbolutely well given. Superb piano, grooving drum&bass, a great production for sure, my hat off to you guys!!! Marvelous Jazz piece! :)

Uh, oh yeah it's killer. The drums and bass sound great. The synth sax patch is great as is the execution. The piano is super sweet. Very, very cool Maestro!

Cool jazzy stuff, Michael. Listening, I can close my eyes and picture Frank Sinatra walking up to a microphone.
I finally released a Christmas song last night and my Brain song is almost #1. ;) I'm also working on other Xmas tunes.

Unbelievable bright sound.
Just like a live-recording of a whole band.
Wow! Didn't expect such kind of stuff from you, Mike... - so this is the real surprise for me! :D I like it since I can easily feel there's great atmosphere here! ...Yeah, small jazz club... Heartfelt and beautiful tunes both of sax and piano, - just awesome! ...Hem, this Joe is a killer indeed! :D
