Love the bass and the piano - it makes it sound very relaxing! Well done :D

Cool!

Hi! Very nice song. He remaind me... mmmmm. ;))

This is really good. Its chill and then it picks up, then back to chill. I'm feeling it.

Hi again. You said in another reply that you’re a classically trained musician. And I can hear that in your playing. I always sort of assume that classically trained piano/ keyboard players play at least some jazz as part of their learning.

I’m a poor to average keyboard player (stringed instruments are my thing and what I feel most comfortable and natural playing) so definitely can’t do the keys work that you do. I program a lot of my synth stuff but couldn’t program the timing and touch and improvisational stuff that you’re doing just in this track.

I’d probably really screw up programming the last piano section that is a strange mix of melodic and atonal.

“I will let you know when I will record something on changes”

This track is pretty damn good without any changes. I guess I would have preferred it to be a bit longer and less rushed but I like longer form music in which I get to hear sections for longer. If a riff or part is good, I usually like to hear it at least a few times.

Good luck if you choose to make any changes.

I'm not always in the mood for Jazz. I like it. But, I just have to be in the right mood for it. However, you toss in the xylophoes, and I'm all ears. There's something to be said about them. You used them well here. I don't really have any suggestions for this. Like I said, I'm not a huge jazz fan. I wouldn't know where to begin for suggestions. I just thought I'd show my support by letting you know that I really dig this one.
Thanks for sharing!

Take care.

wrapped in the arms of your song right from the first notes...I liked the ending as well. short, a gem.

Greetings. Thanks for your reviews.

This is some pretty raw acoustic sounding jazz, even though you're using some loops.

Bass gets very funky at times and plays some very cool lines.

Great ride cymbal groove at 0:12.

0:20 switch to a tight hat-based groove.

Very jazzy keyboard work to go with the bass and drums. I think you're playing a couple of different keyboard sounds.

1:08 piano stab chords I really like.

1:37 swing that ride cymbal again! Good change there though maybe that ride is just too short again.

But this is a pretty direct, short piece with lots of short sections and changes.

1:50 to the end piano (quite discordant as well as melodic) is well done. Quite a mix of melodic and atonal though, which isn't always easy to get right.

Well done and I don't really have any production criticisms.

Really enjoyed listening to this - wish it was a bit longer!

Something Joe Zavinnole would play, and you've done it well...

Solid piece of work, Magic loops...

Peace...TG.

I really like this one promenade...its really well done all round so I certainly have no suggestions...just keep doing it....Its the kind of tune where I would just like to sit at a table at the back of the club & listen to you play some more......bravo....Ed

Love the stand up bass, sounds great. Nice mix of instruments, cool keys, piano. My first track of the day, great way to get it started. Liked how you finished with the piano with some great jazzy notes in there!

Well done, great track!

I really enjoyed this track, it's got a crash yet retro feel to it.

Excellent jazz vibe. Know a little place downtown Memphis where this would rock the joint. Nice choice for drums.
Bass line killed.
Piano well played.

Hey A

Liking the jazzy groove you have going on here, always enjoy tracks that have piano in them, hence why I prob use a lot in my trance tracks, allows for a vibe and feelings to come out of the track using piano, only thing I would suggest is turning down slightly the hi hat, seems to slightly over power at times, minor thing really, overall really enjoyable listen...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Really nice after the min mark. Sounds like the electric piano clips a tad too or is a lil bit distorted. The one electric piano that makes sort of a "dun!" type of sound gets a bit irritating sometimes. At least at first. Definitely a track that could grow on you though, great work bro. Adding a fav as well, peace

very cool mix of different sounds on this track. bass on the track is very funky and jazzy. I like all the different pauses that you have on the track they flow very well together. I know some times it can be hard to get a pause to flow right on a track. very good work on this song.

I always feel like my brain is boiling when listening to jazz-type of music. It tries very hard to find melody patterns that doesn't exist...or do exist but just for the one moment.

This is cool! Especially the piano going crazy in the outro. Loved it!
