On morning mist - you have a very expressive and subtle way of playing. I like the spacing of the melodic phrases, and the carefully chosen notes.. very minimal and poignant! Very nice harmonic movement. I like the vibe a lot. (reminds me a bit of Chet Baker's moody stuff, which i like very much).
The only thing i was missing, (and maybe i wouldn't upon a 2nd listening) was a bit more of an emotional lift (intensity) about 2/3's way thru… which you kind of did… but i was hoping for a tad more..
Really great stuff!
I listened to 'Rory's' , but the browser cuts out about half way.. what i heard was pretty funky :)

you right on about needing "an emotional lift (intensity)" I wonder if playing with a live band would help that.
yes, a live band… That live interaction could spark things… This is a beautiful piece. It deserves a live band!
(i am sure you understand, that i meant to have that 'lift' about 2/3's was thru, to set a bit more contrast when 'coming back').
