Awesome work!  The sax parts sound great and it has such a full live band sound with all the drum parts.  Reminded me a bit of 'the Budos band'.

The sax really adds a lot to this.  Glad you were able to wrangle your son in.  I imagine getting teenagers to cooperate with deadlines is not unlike herding cats, but the results were for sure worth it.

Wow, this is a beautiful collab. Especially the sax makes this outstanding. I thought, I was listening to a Fela Kuti record.

Thanks, glad to hear that, I love the Budos Band! Thanks for the comparison. So fun to be able to get a kind of full band sound when producing, easier than getting 4 horn players and some percussionists and everyone else to come round!

It is like herding cats. Or a cat in this case. You know when I think about it, the teen is a bit like the cat. Sleeps a lot, kind of non-plussed in general, but then has bursts of manic energy. On their own odd time table. Wow, teens == cats. Thanks for commenting!

Oh thank you, my son will be so happy to hear people liked his sax parts. I love Fela, that's awesome you hear that. His influence flavors my grooves often, I think.

Thank you! So glad to hear this feedback. Joyful energy is what I want to spread, need to remind myself that sometimes, so thanks again!

hahaha - CARPS!! Love that gif lol
So happy to hear your feedback on this, that means a lot. Thanks for making this possible! This song, and all of your music is soooo good, lucky to have you sharing here!
I will give my regards to the sax player indeed! He will be happy to hear that, even though he will probably just kind of just casually say "cool" in his teen way lol. And next time maybe he'll come collaborate earlier than an hour before deadline so I don't almost have a heart attack.
Thanks again.

This is fantastic, so much movement, and that sax! Amazing. Love the rhythm and the mix, feel like I'm right in a jazz lounge hall with the band. Awesome

Mmmmm. That sax. This is phenomenal.

What a great feeling it must be putting this one together, some great original source material from JWH, got your son to lay down the sax, and then got the personal touch with the drums and all the other little bits you mixed in.  Will definitely come back for repeated listening to this one, the sax sounds so good, love the chorus with it.

Thank you, glad you thought so!

Jams on jams all the way down, thanks for listening!

Fixed the link! Thanks so much, I sometimes over-add ... so just the right amount is always nice!

Thanks! Sax is always a hit. The tastiest. Thanks for listening!

Oh yeah it was a great feeling! For all those reasons. I could do this any time, hope to do it again some day! Thanks for listening, glad you want to come back for another listen too!
