Martin Packwood - Daydreamer

Felixstowe, United Kingdom
Overall Impression: Jazz guitarist Martin Packwood just released his first track entitled "Daydreamer", and it's a delightful tune that will take you back to the worry-free days of yesteryear. As you sit back and relax, you may lose track of time and not realize that the song comes in at just under 4 minutes. The gentle melody and overall mood of "Daydreamer" will melt away the aggravations of the daily grind and cause you to drift off into a blissful state almost like being in a trance, hence the appropriate title "Daydreamer"!! Here Martin lays down a lovely jazz chord progression played out by an easy going, soft and airy synth track, topped off with soothing guitars creating the ultimate laid-back groove.
Strongest Point(s): Martin's performance/execution and the song's arrangement are top-notch, and I like how Martin utilizes a common jazz song structure, complete with alternate chords and refreshing turn arounds. Honestly I've listened to this track at least a half dozen times, and I just don't get tired of it! And the fact that this is an original composition makes it even better, the future is wide open for Martin.. this is an exciting start and I truly hope there's more to come.
