Bill, MANY thanks for taking the time to convert your songs to MP3 format so we can ALL hear them.
I definitely can tell you come from a background as a drummer as evidenced by your great sense of timing & rythmic feel. I particularly enjoyed your solos. Very nice melodic variations. 'Nightingale in Berkeley Square' is a favorite of mine especially because I live in the 'town' of Berkeley (abeit California, USA)
. Very nice rendition.
I only have one constructive comment to make: I noticed that the 'melodic phrasing' in your horn/wind instrument solo parts did not take into account what a live horn player needs to do: Breathe!
Though I enjoyed your instrumental solos a lot, many of the phrases seemed to go on into the next one etc etc. Without wanting to appear critical, I might suggest (to better emulate how a wind instrument player would need the time to take a breath between phrases), that you end a phrase, taking your hands off the keyboard and/or foot off the damper pedal before beginning the next phrase.
Bill, your music is perfect for that intimate romantic 'after hours' evening. BRAVO. Hope to hear more from you.
