It was so fun being a part of this project! Thanks to David for the invitation and to all the other great performances as well!😊
-
Charles' feel is another level.
-
Fun project!! Everybody played so well! Thanks for including me, David!
-
Thanks for including me in this project, David! Loved getting to hear everyone's take on this track!
-
Charles' solo is def my favorite, so smooth, classy and on point.
-
I loved Charles rendition, so soulful, and very tasteful use of space and language in general. My favorite part though was how organic it was, especially with how it kept building dynamically throughout the backing track.
-
Sangah's solo gave me chills. So good. I thought it was interesting how everyone went for something more laid back and Sangah opted for something a lot bigger and more aggressive. Really made it stand out.
-
Something interesting that I found watching this is that each musician plays and approaches the instrument and their improvisational solo exactly the way they speak and deliver their information as individuals. I think this goes to show how much a person really puts of their soul into their craft
-
I've been following Charles and Nahre for awhile and they didn't disappoint. Sangah Noona is new to me, and I think she really had the most fun and it came through with the music too. What a great concept for a video! Love this.
-
Nahre found a way to make the chords move around what she was playing. It really calmed all the motion in the chord progression down. By far my favorite.
-
The way Jeff used that G# to make the A flow smoothly into the Am brought a big smile to my face.
-
Charles is on a whole other level.
-
Jeff Schneider had best superb solo language. From the tone, rythm, articulation and scales all to the phrasing & structure. Wish I have some of that spiciness. My vote goes to Jeff! 👏👏
-
Sanga Noonah is rad! I already knew Charles and Aimee, but Sangah's solo was so freaking cool!
-
The work of Sangah Noona was the best for me. Very intense and exquisite. All the others are very enjoyable too.
-
That doggie was entranced! Cute.

Writing as I listen. Charles: dig it. It's slow, classy, feels like I should be having a nice glass of wine and chilling with people I like. Nahre: Some good, interesting, melodic and rhythmic ideas. I re-listened a couple times to fully appreciate it. It's different in a good way. Jeff: Smooth, simple, but effective and befitting of the track. Aimee: slow touch in the beginning, but with a nice build in dynamics and speed. follows the chord changes well. Sangah: You can sense her confident, fun, quirky personality through her playing and that's a GOOD thing. Her solo takes you on a mini journey for sure! David: Kind of feels like something I'd hear in an anime lol, which is good to me. Well done everyone!

Sangah's introduction is faszinating ... music is about story telling 👌😀 Awesome improvisation by Sangah, I tip my hat, Congratulations ❤️🎹👏👏👏
-
Charles DOMINATED. His vibe sounded like his was meant to be on the original track. 😊😊😊 That walk up on the A chord gave me life!
-
Jeff's phrasing and time feel is superb! Also all of melodic ideas just fit so well. Loved his Am-run! Definitely my favourite! But also a big compliment to Nahre. I've been following you for years. You've developed such a great improvisation talent over time!
