This is my first foray during The Challenge into the jazz world, and I’m excited about all the possibilities this song will have for instrumentation eventually. There’s lots of big, wide empty spaces for soloing and noodling… guitar, vibes, muted trumpet, marimba, fretless bass, keys of some sort, whatever…. I’m definitely not the right singer for this tune, but can see a female vox with a smooth tone working splendidly. How about you, Coby? Or Corry? Or Glenda?
By the way, Week 9’s missing lyrics still haven’t been slotted in. Is nobody going to step forward with some incredibly poignant, perfect lyrics to fill the void?? I can’t even listen to that song as it is, with that goof-ball muttering his way through those lines. If you need to rewrite the first two lines of that section as well, have at ‘er!

I like this jazzy one but I would like less of the ting ting. How about a sax and a smoky chick’s cigarette-tinged voice? Love the lyrics.
I found the opening sounded too much like the start of a CBC documentary and I couldn’t be brought back after that. But then…we just saw Kid Rock last week so there’s my taste!
I like the song. Real good concept
Not sure about the tune. It could be right but needs more work and fancier licks/strains/chords
It sounds like Dianna Krawl (or whatever her name is). That oozie singer from Namiamo
Definately worth working on

A cool vibe, some nice changes. To my ear, it has a bit of a George Michael minor ballad flavor.
Bond. James Bond.
Very nice. Nice break from the acoustic guitar. Maybe a bit more reverb on the voice and tweak the lyrics and you’ve got a really nice tune. Would make a great theme song if the lyrics were telling a story only from the male point of view. Just my two bits.
Cheers, Randy
I’ll sing for a song of yours anytime. Love the organ solo.
I like this smooth sound. Maybe its “spaces” are what make it so appealing.

I’m four weeks behind you on my comments! Man, I can’t even manage to listen to a song a week and you’re still managing to pump ‘em out weekly. That’s a feat in itself! I’m not a big Jazz fan but I think it has real potential. I agree with Etienne about the spaces, they make you crave the next verse.
