The track is great and the sound is incredible. I tried the volume loud as possible and with different EQ ... perfect sound, does not lose one iota of clarity and strength. I wish I could play that well ...

I love the atmosphere in the beginning birds chirping, the police siren; then those drums kick in and you're hard on the sax man. This is an amazingly great track, love the little hook and once again the sax is fantastic.

I'm glad that I checked this out, great production, kept me grooving throughout and everything, you're very talented on that sax man. I'll definitely have to check out you're album when it's finished.

This is great,love it.Oh the sax!!!!!!!!!!! It's all good for me!

Steve, it has been way too long. You and Alexander are in rare form on this one. I absolutely love it.

I will be honest the first minute of the song pales in comparison to the rest of the track. I'm not so sure you shouldn't bump the volume of the pads just a bit. I know you wanted a build, but the pads seem almost too far back in the mix. Also seems just a tad thin on the bottom end but that just might be my speakers.....

But that is just nit picking on my part my friend. This one is radio ready as it sets. Not sure I agree with my friend Glocke on this one being predictable, haha. Nothing you do is predictable my friend (he needs to check out your video of you playing sax in the bathroom, hehe).

I hope you and the family had a wonderful holidays. We had a great time here for our first Christmas in the desert. Big change from the Oregon Coast. I'm still hanging tough (I think my insurance company would prefer I didn't, hahaha).

Anyway Steve, my best to all and tell Alexander he did a great job as usual on this one. Here's to 2011 being one of your best years ever.

Im sitting here listening to this with my laptop speakers and it still sounds good! And this sax! I love the sound of them and it is just perfect in this song. You really did a good job here. And it sounds like you put down a whole lot of work into this. Im thankful for the upload! Im gonna press play one more time just because.

Stalju

It`s excellent )))

The Slap man is back !!...and what a track you have here. I like the balance of sounds that support your sax playing without any sounds being out of place. A well crafted and catchy tune. I have yon cheapy laptop and have immense glitch-problems but after listening to this I am persuaded to go forth and obtain a macbook pro. Very smooth tune and sound.....

Sorry Slap, haven't been by in a while but this track more than makes up for it!! Great funk happening my soul brother!! haha

No complaints from me, just sittng here tapping my toes and getting into the groove. Sweetness all around, Alexander was excellent, great track! More cowbell, where's the cowbell?!!

AAAhhhhhh!!!!! yea you throwed that one man coooooool!!!!! check'n it.

First, let me say... WOW!!!

I love the trills and holds on the sax, very saxy (sorry for the terrible pun, but I couldn't help myself). The harmonica is wonderful, I wouldn't change a thing...

Step aside, Kenny G, here comes competition!!!

Wow, a masterpiece that brings me back to the theme songs of seventies crime shows like Baretta and Kojak... and I totally love it. Very, very nice. Wonderful tone and excellent musicianship.
I'll need to listen again.

Hey slap another awesome production, your breath control is amazing on this one. I love the crispness and perfect pitch you get on your high notes.

I've had my eye on Logic for a while due to the limitations of Garageband and if it promises to do half of what it claims to I can only see the loop being graced with productions from out of this world from you. I concur with your comments on the mac as well, it does make for a more sane and pleasant experience.

Another epic production from you. Thanks for sharing.

Man Those Horns Send Chills Threw My Body... I Love Horns And These Are Perfect... All Around This Is A Great Tune Yo..

Manzet

Hey, this is a very powerful track! Really well done.
I think it's perfect as it is!!

ciao, K

Loving the freeform style of this track! I create hip-hop tracks but thats only because thats just what I do - I love a bit of funk, and have been playing the piano for over ten years (specialising in funk) and i think that the musicianship demonstrated here is superb! How rigid was the layout of the track? was any of it improvised? either way, I like the fast pace and the way each solo seems to slide effortlessly into each other. Good work!

Great saxes as always! Alexander plays great too!
Do you play the harmonica in the end? Realy good.
About the song, it could be a bit more tight I think and I dont find the guitar/ bas part very strong in the verses. It could do with a little more attitude.
That's just my first opinion, hope it helps you with the track, but in the end, always trust your own judgement.

cheers,
Paul.

Wow,Awesome Steve!I love this kinda stuff and you do it so well.
A very clean track and the stereo mix is something special with everything very fluid.Of course you know I love your playing and a big thanks for your huge contribution to our track...I was honored to play a few notes beside you :)

I'm looking forward to more new music from you!

Hey mate...I'm getting the feeling you pulled out the pork pie hat for this one!(Alexander needs one to!) ..I didn't grow up in Blighty so I might be a little presumptuous in my critique here,to me this is a totally British sound (well duh!..lol)..what I mean is the horn phrases and transitions have that 'Ska' factor,the unmistakable punch and delivery only found emanating out from the British Isles..it's got that street and club feel which is a hallmark Brit influence the world over...fantastic tune!..personally I love the Baritone (an instrument I feel you don't pull out enough...I used to love Gerry Mulligan as a kid)....I love the harmonica segment!..here again you keep this baby in your pocket far too often..(Larry Adler is one of my heroes)...it's inclusion to me always has this affect of contemporising the European influences within music and not the Blues which most people associate it with....great to hear your music Steve,every note you play regardless of the instrument always leaves a lasting impression, and one that we learn from..cheers Dave :)

phenomenal stuff, great job on this one. i had to come a check out some more of your material after hearing you on the collabo with allenv & spelljammer and im definately not disappointed. your a man who knows his instrument very well indeed. RT

I could easily see myself sitting in a bar, sipping on a rye and pepsi, watching and listening, mesmerized as would be all in room, everytime you and your associates were on stage.

Love this kind of music
