What a quaint mix, it captures the spirit of smooth jazz that you'd hear at a fancy dinner party, but the source gives a really unique mood to the genre that I don't hear too often. I find myself zoning out really easily whenever I listen to this song, but when I really take the time to concentrate on it and use it as more than just background music, there's still a lot of intricacies to be fascinated by. The meandering piano, the subtly-rising and falling bass, and of course the cello all make this track worth taking multiple listens just to focus on the individual elements. There's even a lot to love about the drums, too, which are less of an attention-grabber but still worth paying attention to.

Lots to love in this mix! One of the better Zelda jazz renditions I've heard, and there have been lots of them around this site!

There's something about the mixing here that doesn't sit right with me. I honestly don't know what it is, but if feels more empty than it should, even considering the instruments and style used. Besides that, I have no qualms here. Not my favorite style but I found this, on-the-whole, to be enjoyable if not just a tad lengthy for some reason, even if it's a short song. Maybe that's because it moves so slowly.

I find myself echoing Level 99 about this, but for some reason the song feels a little more hollow than it should. I think it's largely because the original source tune is kind of empty and a little on the short side. Part of it might just be my bias that I don't really like the source tune that much too.

I think what would've really helped this mix is if you went off the beaten path and expanded the depth of the song more. The source tune has some good ideas, but I never really liked its execution. I think if you guys had expanded it some you would've had a real winner.

Now, my negativity here is purely on the arrangement level. The execution was done well, so you have nothing to worry about there. You really nailed the autumn mood too, which is awesome. Overall, I'd say this is a pretty good mix, given my predisposition to not caring for the original track.

Live performances really add a special very human touch to the arrangements which I love greatly.

I also love the very meandering, nonchalant below street level coffeehouse atmosphere presented here. I also do like the lead cello a lot. It feels really distinctive and it's something I don't really hear too often in a capacity like this.

The sound scape/textures here are really interesting. Everything is so sparse, minimalistic, and disconnected but in that really good way that's a hallmark of jazz music.

All in all, I really love this track a lot and it's so going onto my jazz playlist.

classy! i always love a live recorded mix, especially those that are as chill and classy as this one!

Pretty sweet. Stays really close to the original up until that later part, but that's not a bad thing with sources like this. Love the piano work (which I always thought fit the source 100%) and the bass was nice as well. Soft and smooth, this jazzy little piece is very nicely done.
