Cool track! Good to hear a new song from you (maybe I am wrong but I think it is quite a while since you posted here?)

I like the style of music and your choices of RealTracks. Well done!

Will

Nice work, Mike smile Love the groove, and the mix on this is top notch. It flows tremendously well too. Very relaxing, and easy on the ears which I liked. Thanks for sharing!

Nice flow. Musically interesting. I imagine a private detective lurking through the empty streets at night as I listened to this.

Mike,

This is such an inspiring listen!

You've picked and a terrific ensemble of Realtracks and your arrangement is really well done. You've definitely got the knack for this kind of jazz.... very impressive work! I tip my hat to you... this was a wonderful listen.

All the best,
Noel
