Very nice arrangement. To me at least, there was a nice mixture of subtle jazz chords and a slight ambient feel...which all held together very well.

Nice job!

Hi Carmen,

Beautiful rendition! Great arrangement with so much breathing space. Kudos to your players also. Do you have an album with more?

Thanks Joe, I’m working on a new album and
“If You Could Read My Mind” will be on it.
My previous album is similar in style and song selection.

Great arrangement and tone.

Recordings of the late Bobby Seymour of that era's music come to mind.
