So, the name is for KennyMac. I figured I could at least try to be positive with my instrumentals. This is a progression I write on my Baritone Uke (low tuned), the drums are my cocktail kit recorded with the BR80 mics. Bass & synth pad are from ThumbJam app. The Sax, sine & organ are my EWI 5000 (electronic wind instrument).

Lovely cool jazzy number and those ukes sound so good. That sax sounds so authentic and the phrases are very tastefully played. Good job; well done.

Lovely bit of breezy jazz - I really enjoyed this. Those cymbals sound fantastic - nothing beats a real kit, miked up as you did. And the ukes blend so well with the EWI-played instruments. I was variously reminded at times of both Burt Bacharach and Ennio Morriccone - two of my absolute faves.

Top notch, Mr. Hook!

This is really good Hook, I love the drum playing. Great groove with nice swing and they sound great! A very cool track, loving the EWI and some very nice dynamics in there. Embrace the sunny side, it sounds very cool when you do!
