Amazing!! I love it!! I can imagine them perfoming together just like they did in that episode about background characters. And still resembles to some old school games like Sihouette Mirage to me. Keep the awesome work!!!! I will download it tomorrow and add it to my playlist ^^

Ok. 

I love your use of chords here, using minor 7ths and hitting a couple of tritones here and there. I did hear a few blue notes as well. 

Love how expressive your main line was. I did hear some sort of honky-tonk piano in there. Would've been nice if you turned that up in your mix a little when it was playing by itself then back it off once the main piano line came in. 

That lead muted trumpet could use a drop of humanization though, seemed a little try. I like that morphed sine wave that was echoing its melody though. It sounded like a therimin. 

All in all, great piece!

That's a nice track, although some there's a mess in instruments, foot doesn't have enough bass and sometimes all drums are too quiet. But this is actually pretty good Good luck in the competition!

Yeah that was part of what felt rough to me. I love using blues sounds but it is really hard to emulate brass instruments. I'm sure this wont be my last jazz/electro swing song, so hopefully it will keep improving!

I was pretty pleased with the overall effect of the mish-mashed instruments, but yeah it was busy at times. I always need to work on mixing, so thanks for the feedback!

ABSOLUTELY GODLY! Electro swing's my favorite genre by far, so I couldn't possibly see myself disliking this:D Well done.
