M&Ms are back! Funky, diggin' that filtered guitar & wah bits. Sounds like you two were having fun with this one. Dig the way those unison lines diverge whenever the mood strikes. Thanks you guys!

This is very cool Michael and Mike! The vox vocals lend an ice-cool vibe to the track. The backer and rhythm guitar work are super Mike. Nice arrangement on the horns. Smokin' guitar work Michael - nice and unique/original lead guitar work from you for me. I love M&Ms!

This is a really cool tune guys. The vox sounds really good and so does the smokin guitar solos. Really nice arrangement and production.
Very nice collab Mike and Michael :) :) :)

What a nice expressive Jazz tune Gents!!
Really wide field of soundscapes, arrangement, instrumentation and original ideas. Got sometimes the feeling I was listening to a little preformance of the TMT (The Manhattan Transfer ) when the vocals brought such jazzy scat notes!! :)
A sparkling and fresh collab, made by M&M... oh yes!! Good job my talented friends!!:D

Very nice, rich, warm and full sound you've got here. Love the fusion of styles, it's funky, jazzy with a touch of rock thrown in...and blends perfectly! Superb production and the scat singing is the icing on the cake. Top notch track!

A refreshingly tasteful spice of titillating jazz and supplied by two fantastic musicians. Love the excellent scat vox...really cool touch. Oh, yeah, and the solos are aces.

Great groove with a fine array of instruments! I like that scat vox very much and the sustaining rock guitar flows right with this groove. Nice collab from both of you.

Is this cool Jazz or what - from a funk to a mellow mode to a rocker - love this arrangement from the Tocayos ;)

Yeah - this was worth waiting for! Great playing and the mix is superb as usual but especially the dynamics and tone - I like what you did here a lot!
Wow, Mike and Mike, both of you have done a magnificent job on this wonderful creation. Beautiful vocals and Guitar playing.... You never cease to amaze me.
