    Im sad there wasn’t more Bata in the video. I have been playing for many years and i have never heard it with jazz. I love this combination. The vocals were mind blowing as well. Very good, amazing, magnificent.

    @bailahie4235 4 роки тому

    Great track. The more often I listen to it, the better it becomes. I already melt at the intro Rhodes chord-opening, how full spirit/soul the playing of Axel Tosca... They all do a great job, for example, the sax solo by Max Cudworth (?) -- so dreamy and jazzy.
    The only thing that I think of now that would have been better is if the quite vigourous singing by Pedrito would start later in the song, to keep the mellow soft energy longer during the intro.
