Mike,

This really smokes! I love the basses you have in there. After I first heard it, I though of writing that you'd might need another maybe saturated or keys one to provide more deep end, when the bass is doing melodic work. But after reading you actually have three, I don't dare.

I love the whole thing, great changes and variations, it's a listen piece as is. The varied sections really provides interest throughout. I got a little confused about what the main theme was, though, if there is a main one? I loved the intro on the piano, so you maybe could consider repeating that, if you aim a version for tv/film that has to be more functional, identity wise.

The intro piano theme got me hooked, so did the bass solo, and the horns in the final. Whoo hoo, I loved that big feel those horns gave. It reminded me of some Genesis stuff, and together with the jazzy touch of the playing it felt really like best of New York. I would go for a title that captures New York, the 80'ies and maybe the jazz(-rock) scene. The drums sounded like you had the 80'ies in mind, with the snare and the ambience.

It sounds like there are material for several versions here. So I could imagine one with emphasis on solo bass and the intro piano theme. A big one with emphasis on the horns section, and the guitar one you feel for yourself.

Your instrumental reminded me a little bit about the Danish jazzers, Doky Brothers. Niels Lan Doky is a pianist and the older brother, and his little brother Chris Minh Doky plays bass. Chris have lived in New York for years playing the jazz scene. They had a track in the 90'ies called 'Hope', which I like and got reminded of by the feel on this one. It's a lot different of course, but really exploit the piano theme, and is bass driven with a kicking guitar solo towards the end, so I link to it just for fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtawqtUiiLY
