Quote from: Zoltan on December 15, 2022, 10:16:35 AMThat playfulness. Those melodies. The chords changes and harmonies fly way above my head yet you're still making it all so easy to access.

Those vocals are great (as always) and the mix is the definition of clear. Those horns sound great too. And that bassline.

Great song(writing) and arranging skills.

Thanks so much, Zoltan!

Another brilliant piece of pop jazz song. Everything sounds so good!

Well done, John!

It seems longer ago than a week since this was posted. 

It is like Chicago... and that is pretty darned good.  I didn't listen to that many Chicago albums (or should I say 8 tracks? which is what i had) but the ones I had i wore slap out... I tend to listen to music groups hundreds of times per album... I bond with the music... it is etched into my soul...
it never goes away...
and now the great John Bee is also etched... I think even in heaven I will be able to refer to this... hear this again...

Thanks again, Steve. 

Just want to say that I've been a huge Chicago fan since 1970. especially when their original guitarist, Terry Kath was still there.  Their second album (w/"25 or 6 to 4", Make Me Smile", "Colour My World") is my favorite album of all time and I've owned it in almost every format (LP, CD, 8-track & cassette) and wore them all out and I'm so glad the great producer, Steven Wilson chose it to remix because he did an awesome job with it.  I'm also a big fan of Tower of Power, another horn band.  I love and I'm proud of the Chicago compare but I feel the arrangement in this song is more Tower of Power than Chicago mainly because I use the TOP line up with 2 trumpets in the high end and a baritone sax (and trombone) in the low end.  Chicago rarely uses baritone sax (but has on a few album tracks) where TOP uses it constantly.  But I appreciate all who compare me to Chicago, although I'm not anywhere near as good.  Thanks again.

I think Blood, Sweat, and Tears were on a lesser level but very similar style.  Obviously the vocals were different but the music had similarities.  I think bands more toward this style have made a minor comeback these days...

This is a really nice song, very well put together. I love the style, those session horns sound great too.
Great guitars and drums. Love your vocals and overall sound.

I love how fearless your vocal melodies are. Very cool tune. Money well spent for those horns as they sound remarkable. Are the horn swells your doing, or is that an option in the software?

I really zeroed in on the bass on this one.

I love your melodies. The chord progressions demonstrate a depth of understanding and challenge the listener in unexpected ways.
