Hello everybody,

There is a new "Crooner" Big Band Jazz Horns RealTracks set, with a complex, 9-part horn section in Band-in-a-Box 2016 for Windows.
So, I have tried to add horn sections to my old song that was recorded before with vocal and piano trio.
Now I will introduce it to you.

Title: あなたに倦きた(Translation: I got bored with you )

Vocal: Yoko Kawajiri, my friend
Piano: Miya Nakajima, our local female jazz pianist
Bass & Drums: Style is J_MJQ_1.STY(MIDI) played with VST instruments
Guitar: RealTracks in style: ~938:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzFreddie Sw 110
Horns: RealTracks in style: 2593:Horn Section, Background CroonerBigBand9-Part Sw 110

Liked it from the first note. A really cool arrangement.

Yoko and Miya did a great job

The horns certainly did their part too.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Shigeki you did an outstanding job with this one from your choice of RTs, your use of the horns (excellent) and the mix is great. Yoko is superb with her vocals and Miya is truly a professional on the piano. Great sound! I enjoyed listening.
