I'm listening to this for the first time right now, and I'm really liking what I'm hearing. I'm a big jazz guy (I know it doesn't seem like it), and I can definately say that this is some great, unique stuff, with lots of great sounds, especially your brass and sax sound. Really wicked groove you've got going on here.

I really like 2:09; that's some great chorus stuff you've got there.

This is definately a keeper man. Really fantastic job. I'll be sharing this with all my jazz buddies.

As I am often inclined to say: SOLID™!

Wow. This is just... wow.

Mazedude continues to impress the hell out of me.

Nice jazz sound, which is an altogether under-represented genre here, cool piano, dig that "pause" at 1:16. GREAT finish.

Very cool tune.

I think every remixer on this site has done at least one remix that I didn't like. Except Mazedude. He has not disappointed me yet. Amazing stuff.

Yes, it's jazz, but there's this hint of something else beneath the surface that isn't jazz, but totally makes the song work. Almost like it's an industrial song disguized as a jazz song, but at the same time nothing like that. Does that make sense? Whatever it is, it works. Another excellent mix from Mazedude.

This is probably Chris' best jazz work to date.
I could not agree more. I got this song a little while back from Mazedude's site, and my friends and I have been loving this mix. It's a really laid back piece and that's (almost) always a good thing. I have even used this mix as inspiration for one of my own songs...but of course, I'm no Mazedude. Bottom line: download this. Now. You're only hurting yourself if you don't.

I absolutely love this song. When I started the song, I was thinking what jazz CD do I have in now and who created this awesome piece. Never heard it until now, but the way you worked this and intertwined all the sounds, and the abscence of sound makes it is an absolute masterpiece.
Makes me feel good!
:D

9/10 I liked it. Industrial jazz, yeah... something not really done often.

Something sounded slightly amiss though, somewhere in the gumbo. Maybe it was trying to do too much, I'm not sure...

But the trombone was the definitely the weak link to me. Intonation was just far enough off a couple places that I winced... plus, the tone on the 'bone was odd - too mellow throughout... it would have sounded much more at home backed up by a contemplative drumset and lazily walkng bass rather than the funky, energetic, beat it's with here.

But that's only a small part... overall, still very good. Not only is this industrial jazz thing not done often, it's done well here, so props.
