This is my band's new jazz interlude which will be featured on our upcoming EP, to be released at the end of October.

This is our first ever jazz composition, and as such this song went through numerous revisions concerning the overall structure and arrangement. We couldn't agree at first on what type of jazz we really wanted to do. We tried an electric piano and a Farfisa organ before settling on the Grand Piano for the main instrument of the song. We tried numerous electronic drums as well, but felt the composition was best served as a more straight-ahead jazz trio. We cut out a lot of the weird runs and scales that had been in there to make the song a little more listenable. Before it was chaotic. As a final note, we have talked about layering in some guitar which would just be comping the chords with a few licks here and there. This could possibly happen later down the road.
Is this cool or is it a bunch of crap? Love to hear some feedback.
