10. Soft Dream Pillow
My take on a particular type of Jazz/Rock. Elements of 'left-field' sounds surface in various places within the musical texture of this piece.

11. Summertime (small Jazz Club option)
The well known jazz 'standard', treated to a Major Snagg, re-arrangement. I've re-created the feel of a gig at a small jazz club. Cool...
