Original Jazz Instrumental on E9: "Iridescent Suite"

I would characterize this arrangement as “New Age Jazz†or “Smooth Jazzâ€, a genre that has been fading since the 1990’s.
I played all the instruments into Pro Tools:
Carter S10 with Tonealigner > Hilton Pedal > NV112 Post EQ > MBox
Peavey 6-String Bass
Sigma Acoustic Guitar with Fishman Pickup
Yamaha MOX6 Piano & String Pad
Steven Slate Drums (Virtual Instrument)
Big Fish Audio - First Call Horns (Virtual Instrument)
Here is
“Iridescent Suite†(or Iridescent Suit if you prefer).

I very much like what you do with the steel breaks; I think 'That's how I would have played it.'
Of course, I can't, but you did. The piano work is also sterling; your steel and piano chord voicings are outstanding.

Ron, thanks for the inspiration and encouragement! As you always have done, I hope to "keep the ball rolling".
Charlie, thanks for your comments, fellow keyboardist/pedal steel guitarist. I'm glad you like the chords. I have found that a challenging but fun way to learn steel is to try and find my keyboard vocabulary on the E9 fretboard, allowing the copedent to "speak it".

I can imagine. Using it as a template, piano eventually fell short of the required vocabulary and thinking.
Steel amounts to new voicings, things that in a way couldn't come from piano, but they work together well (shocking!).
