Suno prompt
A wistful jazz track with steady energy and a swung feel at 85 BPM. The low end is upright bass playing root-note anchored, under a brushed jazz kit with a rimshot-forward snare and sparse dark cymbals. Grand piano carries the harmony, fingerpicked. The arrangement follows AABA. A saxophone leads, carrying the melody in long phrases. Tape saturation adds texture, with a slapback delay on the lead. Mixed in a clean and spacious style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on simple triad chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.
Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
