Did a great job with it! I'm a big Coltrane junkie and Sentimental Mood is one of my faves. I just hope you can fix the 1:40 cut off. This is definitely iPod worthy.

"Nice Sound"

Wasn't big on the drums. At some parts they fit, at some parts they kind of clash with the mood of the song. I enjoyed the progression and gradual build up of the song a lot, just make sure you don't stray TOO far from the original idea. (even if the song is just improv, lol)

"Good Stuff"

submission: Icarus - Above the Sea

Usually with Jazz, I prefer a more "raw" sound. Just a core (usually wind) instrument at center stage and maybe some piano/percussion/bass to the side. I would kind of like to hear just the trumpet recording.

Regardless, the overall song is a nice, modern sounding piece.

Author's Response:

From Ragtime to Fusion, Jazz have a lot of colors. This was supposed to be more like in Pat Metheny/ Lyle Mays style. For a more raw/ rough sound the main theme is way too "pop".
I do like Hard-Bop approach of music, but achieving the right sound, with all that "live" feeling is quite hard to achieve without a real drummer and a good double bass player.
Thanx for review.
