It’s completely ok for an artist to get a little weird with their art. The downbeat hesitation in the second measure of the verses caught me off guard at first, and then I found myself looking for it. Fred has the right idea on this song, sometimes simpler melodies are easier to remember. “WindSong” is laid back, creative and sounds like it would be fun to play along. I recommend Fred Rose’s “WindSong”; it’s something different on the play list. It’s simple, classy and offers six minutes of satisfaction. Nice one Fred.

This is a nice Tune but You need to put some work in to It..make a new arrangement and make It shorter if You will add some skillful Improvisations will also help..as it is now is way to long to be played on Radio ( they use 3.5 - 4 min ;long Max )and Music Publishers almost never take Instrumental Music for Publication.. if I be You I will make a shorter version of this Tune just for a Radio Play and I be playing this version on Life Concerts..I wish You good luck with submissions.. Good Job..

Salut Fred...After the first few bars of intro I was taken by the 'introspective path' of the work. Thereafter I was impressed that the path opened up and became vibrant and methodically evolving toward an even more alluring destination. It is a lovely musical journey... however there were moments when it seemed less flowing and too careful. Overall, I'm smitten with with 'the vibe' it sends. You are well on your way to a splendid outcome ...Bon Continuation ! Barrymore

It it difficult to find much to like in this recording. You may think that the category "smooth jazz" implies minimal harmonic variety and a strict avoidance of interesting, engaging, or whistleable melodic lines. But it doesn't have to be this way. The tune running throughout this recording is relentlessly dull, and is made that much worse by seeming to go on interminably. What's with the title? "Windsong" suggests there might be some reminder of (oh, I don't know ... maybe) the Wind in the piece. But there's not. Not even any wind instruments. Fred Rose should hire some horn players and get rid of his bank of cheesy synthesizer sounds -- ESPECIALLY that ghastly faux accordian that features through most of the second half of the piece.
