Laidback Groove I like the nonchalant mastery of instruments & vocals building into a progressive rock/jazz crescendo, great calaboration guys! |

Good lyrics too Not forgotten in all this effortless display of talent (great clarinet, guitars, piano playing), are the lyrics. You capture the loss for words during the end of an affair in the first have and make a perfect condensed list of things you wished would be different in the second half. I also really like those last disco train toot sounds. With such a full and inventively simple song, it ends in chiillingly ice crystal echoes that reminds me of the "silence" inside all which the "playing" is meant to cover over. Very effective. |

Dazzling... Very clever mixture of textures and rhythms. Sort of musicianship that ham-fisted people like myself can only goggle at. And then it pulls together into the second section very nicely, with that descending bass line. It's almost like a song about how musicians retreat into playing music when they should be talking to people... er. Prolly way of the mark there... |

One Great... Groove! I'm sitting here snapping my fingers, eyes closed, while deciding what to type next. Top-notch piece. Another keeper. Great playing, singing and mixing, Tobin. Bravo to McBoy and Bill for their contribution. |

Trio sublime Those chord voicings in the piano are boss. That first section is sublime. Second section sort of turns easy, good transition, and I htought it was well done, but the jazz secion is so good. Really enjoyed the way the clarinet and guitar interplay, and the piano holds it all in with much more than normal comping. Quite a job. Bravo. |

Take me back to summertime jazz festivals in Vermont. Here's the sad part: My mind was closed and I didn't let myself just enjoy the wonderful music. What a fool I've been. This is great, guys. A sonic Scooby-Snack™! |

Jazz for non-jazz lovers I love it when you write detailed, long engaging lyrics, and now I see you writing short and sweet lyrics, and you hit the nail perfectly this way too. Bravo to the guitar playing that grooves so well and the clarinet solo that lifts the whole thing to new heights. Can't imagine the song without every sing detail you guys have put into it, which is supposed to be a compliment. The whole you've crarfted is unique and very engaging. Jazz for ex-lovers (even if they don't love jazz.) |

Smoooth!!!!!! What an all-together hot tune. All the players smoke, the lyrics are cool and you sing great, with lots of soul, man. Practically everything I've learned about songwriting since I discovered this site 2 months ago is from digging back and reading lots of comments you've made on tunes. Exceptionally educational. I'm motivated and you're a big part of that. Thanks! |

Outstanding I have to reiterate alley-oop's sentiment. Listening to your stuff, and that of your collaborators, is like getting a quick lesson, both in performance and production. Really sweet tune. |

A cool track. This sounds like it might have been at home in the movie "West Side Story." Sounds a little bit like "Cool." ("Boy, boy, crazy, boy!") I like it all, but especially the clarinet. You just can't synthesize that sound. |

. The instrumentation and music bed in this are exceptional. In fact all instruments are tremendous until the overdriven guitar solo.... the phrasing is a bit of a let down compared to what had proceeded it, it is almost as though another player took over. The note choices and delivery were a little off and threw off the cohesiveness of the piece after its entrance. Again this piece needs melody. I appreciate your efforts.... and maybe it is just that I dont get your concept of melody but this comes off as incomplete to me and is a bit dissapointing as with such a great bed of music underneath I would have expected this to be a cinch for you to really dig deep down and blow off the roof with a world class melody line. Regardless of my desire for a melody this still is very very good and temendous playing by Bill Barner... that cat can blow!!!!!!! |
