Let me know what you think. Be brutal.

Steve -

A most unusual conception and phrasing. A kind of Miles Davis sparsity which is refreshing. You could have yielded to temptation and cluttered it up with a zillion notes. You didn't - Bravo!

That was a BIAB track? How did you do it?

Respectfully,

Richard

Steve: I've lost my gun so you'll get no shots from me as I found it very interesting and listenable. I would watch out for Jim Cohen though...I think he'll be calling you to put it on his site !!

Regards, Paul

What Richard said.

It definitely belongs on the Jazz Web Site!

Steve,
The second Jazz type track I have listened to this week, this one was melodic and tasteful, I enjoyed it very much.

Thanks everybody.

Very astute, Richard. I actually learned the head from a Miles transcription.

For BIAB, I just entered the chords from the Real Book and picked a style I liked with Real Drums. The 32 bar vamp is from Cannonball Adderley.

Hi Steve, That was great. It's not my type of music, but
it's enjoyable to listen to something else that's played so good.
I must must say, your playing is fantastic, and really clean.
Don't know what steel you played in on, but, what a nice sound.

Hey Big Steve!

I thought it was cool!

Listen to all of it and man put me in a mood with all the ice outside!

Good stuff!
