The title says it all. Help me pick a Genre. Should it be Jazz? or what?

This one had me nodding my head from the get go - it's a really fun little
tune. Dunno about genre - I would've said rock or pop. The bass makes it
sound kinda 80's (Level 42), and the mix is very good.
Well structured as well - you use breaks well, and the song is just the
right length.
Check out my latest song called Deeper (w/t Racerat)

Thanks. The history of this tune is this: I wanted to make a tune emulating a
subway musician. Sax came to mind as the quintessential street musician's
instrument. Trouble is that I don't play sax and the softwre saxes sound like
somthing other than a sax. I did have the basics of the tune down however
and modified it by making the drums stronger, changing the lead to guitar
and adding the guitar harmonies. The title eluded me. The subway sound was
still there but we were at the station, not on the train. Then it hit me ...
sounds like far east harmonies...we were on the subway going to chinatown!
The song titled itself! A little more work on the drums and we were there.
Check out my latest song called It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

It's a ride indeed
Cute tune. I like the guitar sound and the theme is a-ok with me too. I
probably would have pushed the guitar a bit further back in the mix. It
obscures the details of the backing track too much, and that backing
track sounds like it's interesting enough to be heard.
