2:41·75 bpm·G·1 versions
Jazz, BluesComedy, Cool, Feel Good

A slow, loose-limbed piano blues in G at 75 BPM, carried by upright bass walking and brushed-feeling drums from a live trio. The comic timing sits in the space between phrases, making it read as sly and mischievous rather than mournful.

2:33·100 bpm·G·1 versions
JazzComedy, Cool, Feel Good

The album's brightest swinger: 100 BPM in G with piano leading over upright bass and drums in a warm, feel-good jazz club groove. Sunny and playful start to finish, with an easy sense of forward motion and a clean landing.

The Wind Down
STYE1008 · Calypso Jazz · Michael James Torregano Jr
1:40·75 bpm·G·1 versions
Jazz, DowntempoChill, Jazzy, Relaxed

Electronic downtempo jazz at 75 BPM in G, with soft piano and synth pads over a programmed beat and bass, topped by a smooth trumpet line. Short at 1:40 and deliberately cooling off, it suits the moment a night starts to fade.

2:50·84 bpm·B flat·1 versions
JazzCool, Jazz Club, Jazzy

The most romantic cue on the record: an 84 BPM live trio in B flat, piano over upright bass and drums, cool and unhurried. At 2:50 it has room to drift between tender and wry, matching its title's shift in temperament.

Taking It Easy
STYE1008 · Calypso Jazz · Michael James Torregano Jr
1:38·78 bpm·Cm·1 versions
Jazz, DowntempoChill, Jazzy, Relaxed

A relaxed electronic jazz bed at 78 BPM in C minor, pairing piano and synth with a laid-back programmed beat and bass. The minor key gives it a smokier, more nocturnal tint than its downtempo sibling, and at 1:38 it works as a compact underscore.
