Hello, Don'tknowyourname,
I really like the melody in this. It's very memorable. There are a few spots where the bass and drums are out of the pocket, but that is easily fixed with session players. I'm not sure this would fit the description of 'lounge' – I think the bass is too rigid and trad, but I'm no jazz expert. Hope I'm wrong.
Keep 'em coming,
Nick

Very cool, Nick. Thanks for the listen and kind words.
Yeah, there are a few bass/drum spots, broke my own rule and tracked them rather than record live.
I was def thinking trad, based on the artists mentioned. Trying to get a Wynton Kelly, hip kinda vibe.
I also tried to capture the mid to late 50s sound with mic placement, etc...
Thanks again for the listen and critique. I'll check your sounds out
Mike
