A completely new genre for me, but I like it. Short but right on the spot ;).

What do you think?

I'm always in for Jazz, so this made me curious! Gonna give it a listen.

Here's my feedback:
This is indeed some classic jazz, mixed with some pop I think. Hard to hear. It has some electro in it too. Definitely some things going on you normally don't hear in jazz. Not sure if I can say that it actually fits, but as the track goes very fast and chaotic (which is something you hear in jazz) its not bad per se. I do think the song lacks a bit coherence.

Hearing this, I think you'd do much better in smooth jazz, as this is like a faster version of smooth jazz, but also it isn't.

The end is a bit abrubt though.

Hey thanks for the feedback. It looks to me that you are more struggeling with putting the right tag / label on the song than actually listeing to the music ;). I've called this jazz, simply because of the instruments used. Nevertheless I gave it my own spin, upped the tempo and made it my own.

Maybe let go of the jazz, label, and listen what the music does for you :D.

Well, it certainly has jazz elements. There are dozens of jazz "styles", this would certainly fit into the genre definition of at least one of these styles.

I like the song. I like the mood and the flow. And even if the sax comes along a little too "dry" I really enjoyed the sound quality itself.

So far, so good...but there is just one thing that disturbs me. I may completely wrong - and I apologize in advance if I'm wrong - but there are some phrases (especially the piano) that sound to me like loops. And this is something that I personally don't like...
sorry for my bad English
