All real instruments except the drums, Although bongos, tambourine and shakers are real.

Nice work! Really mellow. I love the fact that you're playing nearly everything here....it has that "human touch" that I really like. You have quite a gift for creating these jazzy tunes!

Right on. Great little tune. I found myself enjoying this alot. Great recording also. Did not need to crank-it to get a good clean level. Nice work!

Mastered through Adobe audition, used Noise reduction [needed it badly, my preamp has cheap electronics] ,Pan/expander, Hard limiter [just boosted by 3 dB's, hence it was quite good in the first place]
Not bad for the first mastering, I think need to adjust the Eq a bit and perhaps lower the reverb.  I normally would listen to it in the car and compare it with something that's professionally well produced.
Thanks for listening.
Cheers

Great groove. Upbeat and funky. The title looked interesting so I checked this out and I'm glad I did. If I haven't made it apparent you've got a great track here, it just needs something a little more dominating to make it sound more like a song instead of backing track, though as I listen to it more it's more satisfying as is, though I'd love to hear some flute over it. Awesome track. Downloaded.

When working on the the structure I deliberately chose the key of F so I could play the melody with the Soprano Sax, hence easy key to play on the sax, but liked the guitar, interesting you sensed the flute as DTF.  I'll have a go at both see how it turns out.

Easy listening needs some punch!
I'm not channeling any flute here lol.

However, I do feel some vox should be added with some backup vocals on the hook.

I am sure, Denis, that you could add some pretty powerful vocals to this without overwhelming the piece.

As for lyrics, perhaps something with a very simple chorus and nice simple verses will be good. Would keep it less muddied for sure.

I have tomorrow off. I have a couple ideas bouncing around. We'll see what happens! lol

Very nice composition Denis...as usual.

Flute?  I say SAX!  Becoming a big fan of some of the jazzy stuff ive been hearing lately...  But I lean toward the smokier sax type stuff...  this is ultra clean and well produced.  Cant find any points of contention! Very well played, sir!
