I absolutely love everything on this track. From that double bass walker, through the drums to that magnificent piano that will resonate with pure jazz. Well done my friend!!!!

Your music makes me relax‼️ I love this❣️

hey Mark man, this is a great song! really brilliant performances all around. this is very charming. I like the bridge, too. excellent composition, too! great work!

OK, so your dream is to have this played by live jazz musicians. Toronto has a lively music scene. I know I would come out and see it if it were my city. I wish you luck. Enjoying the drums in this version. Thank you for sharing!!

Many thanks! Good call, that’s the plan... maybe enlist some U of Toronto jazz dept students for hire, for example.

'Jazzy Ditty' (https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med?in=user-432503709/sets/album-the-goods) is one of my earliest and favourite jazz tracks, which I keep revisiting and trying different things with. In this slowed down version, the opening and closing piano parts are the main chorus theme, and in the middle I tried throwing in another older track - 'Belle Curves Blues'. 

There's also an alternate faster version called 'Jazzy Ditty (alto - quartet)', where the piano melody line is replaced by a saxophone. https://soundcloud.com/user-432503709/jazzy-ditty-new-med-quartet?in=user-432503709/sets/bestest-ones

I'd love to eventually expand the main theme into a longer piece, and one day have this played live by jazz musicians. 

All comments welcome, and don't be shy to be critical or suggest ideas to help me improve.   :)
