I'm sorry, but I don't know the origin of the backing here. I'm a pretty unschooled jazz player, but took a run at this one in honor of my Dad, newly sober after a 40+ year struggle with the bottle. Everything I know about jazz I learned while listening to it with him. I'm proud of him for the first tim in a good long while.

Most easy going tune, jazzy bluesy feel, floating caressing every string as you play with such soul, well focused. Most relaxing, my kind of music. Nice tempo change; fine variance to dim the light a bit more and get cozy with this. Like the good emphasis, by the way, a fine backup that's so calm. Good well mixed production. Do love it too. - Your good friend & fan.

(Thanks for the pleasure.../mucho for the reviews amigo; very appreciated Clayville.)

WOW, is all I can say. I'm a great Blues & Jazz fan, so this tune really hits home on both fronts. Love the phrasing and the lead is superb! Very nice tune, which will be featured on my "Saturday Night Rocks" show here on Mix Radio this coming Saturday night ... show starts at 8pm ET/US!
<p>I'm a midlife blueshound who hasn't been in a band since high school, when my main ambition was to sound as much like "Get Yer Ya Yas Out" as possible. Still workin' on that in my self-taught way, but except for an ocassional open mic blues jam most of my playing time now is over backing tracks created by myself or online friends from some of the communities I frequent. At my site over at Soundick (which never seems to make you throw anything away) there are now over 500 of such efforts archived. That's a lot of recording practice, but only a marginal increase in playing chops.<br /><br />I bring most of the very best stuff over here when I remember to do it, so the things here generally stand the test of time to me. Elsewhere I'll tackle anything from blues to rock to jazz to funk if I can find a way in, but the results don't always merit (or reward) repeated listen.<br /><br />Fun for me, but as they say: your mileage may vary!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. I promise to review your stuff "real soon".</p>
