From Now On

GREAT SONG!
THE MUSIC CAUGHT MY ATTENTION RIGHT FROM THE START. THEN THE LEAD VOCALS CAME IN, AND IT SOUNDS SO PROFESSIONAL. HAS A VEGAS LIVE SOUND TOUCH TO IT. I'M A SONGWRITER MYSELF, AND THE LYRICS REALLY STANDS OUT. I CAN'T WAIT TO FINISH REVIEWING THIS SONG TO SEE WHO THIS IS. KEEP CREATING!

Reviewer from Atlanta, Georgia
 

Mmm... sexy.
Lead vocal sounds smooth and sexy. Very strong. I love the horns, they lend a romance to the song that could not exist with lyrics alone. Overall, I like the song. It makes me think, "gee if this doesn't work out for this couple, he can come sing under my window any night." ;) This song is so good, that I feel like I am listening to a "best of love songs" CD.

Reviewer from Cushman, Massachusetts
 

production A+
Very fine recording. Horns are a welcome backing part that carries the song through the chorus. Very reminiscent of the songs I've always loved. The lead vocals are right up front, where they should be. Great control and sounds like he's had some vocal training, and uses it well. The song kinda takes me away from the cares of the world!

Relay the Message

Damn!!!!
This sh** is tight. Lead Vocals sound great and I like how they flow. The Performance is on-point. The on instrumental break has a love boat feel but somehow you made it work. Nice, i like the horns. Yo for real though its tight.

Reviewer from Newark, Delaware
 

WORD? & music too-aahhh!!
I love bands that mix styles and these guys succeed easily. Now my biggest question is-WHERE CAN I SEE Y'ALL PLAY LIVE? Oh yeah by the way i got the message, and i'll pass it on. Much respect.

Sunset Drive

Happy Latin Jazz
Al I can say is...WOW! The performance is tight and has a happy feeling. The percussion is great and adds just the right touch. The horns are arranged well and have a good melody. The flute is great too. The piano riff is so groovin' and the guitar player has got some chops! From beginning to end this is one great tune!
Reviewer from Manchester, New Hampshire
All I can say is...
Wow..This tune rocks. Love the latin vibe complete with a santana guitar thing. Rhythm section is very tight. Horn stabs are perfect. Percussion adds just the right spice. Guitar tone is great very santana as well as licks. flute adds just the right touch of diversity. The performance is very good all players are in sync with one another. Keep up the good work Ric

Sigurado

great groove and arrangement
Nice playing from the pianist as well as the rest of the band. The arrangement is well done. The first song (as I'm a newbie) I've listened to that I thoroughly enjoyed. I enjoyed the drummer, he has a nice tight sound. There's really no criticisms to speak of ..I like the tune, keep it coming.
Reviewer from Bowling Green, Kentucky

Good grooves, always interesting. The mood change intros are hot, and the incidental fills and riffs go very well. These are some talented people

Special Award: Most Rocking Track

Nice swatch of styles!
I Liked the horns on the head at the opening and nice keyboard solo - the cat can play through the changes. The first half of the second guitar solo reinforces the changes better. (To me, the first guitar solo was a little ‘pitchy’.) Great ‘line writing’ for the horns! Very good arrangement and the ensemble performance is quite strong. Kudos for the bass player, drummer and percussionist.

My Only One

Sweet and Smooth
A truly enjoyable listening experience. Lead vocals were great, nice range and very sweet, smooth voice. Guitars both bass and lead were very well played. Drums, keyboards, and background singers rounded out the sound nicely. Instruments drown out the singer in some parts so I would smooth that out in the production. Everything else, was perfect as it is.
Reviewer from Richardson, Texas

I love the guitar accompany on the background!!!!! the percussion is absolutely fabulous! you use a lot of drums and the stereo feeling is good! the rhythm is also very good. what can I say... great performance! seems that you are professionals playing some real jazz!
Reviewer from Raahe, Finland [flag]

Piano Love Rise
Your song reminds me of Herb Alpert in "Rise". The percussion has a nice feeling of melody and excellent artistry in the arrangement and Tempo. The accompaniment is always a big winner on a night at the Bahama Breeze in Tampa, Florida. Horns are perfect. This track is revealing hard work and long hours of playing to acquire perfection in music. Your on top of the world with this track. Is it on the radio yet? If not, it will be! Your my next song on my playlist. I got to have it, I crave this kind of music. You got me tonight:) Peace AL Rozz
