A wonderful treat for the ears.
This is just proof that sometimes simplest is best.

I love this. I will agree with Dave that it's very chill and relaxing, and having Anthony Lofton involved with SoS was quite a treat. Nice work, dudes!

I thought djpretzel's writeup was spot on. I don't care much at all for smooth jazz, but OCR has been an alarmingly taste-widening experience for me. I don't get how this context makes it easier to receive the music behind the style, if you know what I mean. Exceptional work.

Sweet stuff indeed. :D

I wonder if the piano is a little too quiet (or the sax too loud), but beyond that, I'm just loving this. It also serves as a reminder how expressive real sax is. Nice and calming feel throughout, definitely going on my calm stuff playlists.

Ohh, I was just about to get up from my desk and head home from work but this song came up in winamp and I'm transfixed. Gotta sit back down and let this one ride out :) A sax this sexy and a piano that smooth are the only things that could keep me at work any longer than necessary on a Friday afternoon.

Agreed on both counts. I wish the piano owned a little more sonic ground in the mix. I'd love it if it were both louder and wider, but that's a minor gripe. And yeah, Anthony's performance makes me want to give up my dreams of having enough money to buy some decent solo sax/trumpet samples. I'd be much better served using that money to buy a sax and learning to play it...or just using the money to hire Anthony.

Nice work guys!

Beautiful stuff- I agree with the consensus of a touch more piano, but overall this is pro.

Excellent performances. Highly recommended.

Beautiful mix guys! With Dhsu on the ivories and Another on sax I suspected this was a real winner even before I heard it.

There is nothing quite like real life instruments and you guys play your respective instruments fantastically.

I love this arrangement Dhsu. Piano just the right volume to let the solo shine. Perfect climax near the end. I know when the song is ending, also way too short imho.
