Here's my very lastest: The DANDY DUO! cool

Ok, so I was just trying out the BBox after a recent RT/ST patch and, well...got a bit carried away, shall we say.. and before the night was over I had a brand new song in my hands, yayh laugh

Anyway, this basically is just a piece of fairly straight forward jazz swing, with modern instrumentations, i.e. a sparse electric band and pristine horns, akin to maybe the 70's jazz bands. Perhaps unusually for me, I hardly used any Realtracks for this one (only one RT + two ST's), even the soloists are in midi. And that's really all there is to say about this piece.
Hopefully this will still sound pleasing to at least fans of the genre, if not others, and worth the visit - Enjoy!

Formalities:

Title: Dandy Duo
Melody has 205 notes, Melody harmony is Miles + Tenor in Octaves(90)
Soloist track has 169 notes, Soloist harmony is <no harmony>(0)
Style is M_JAZSWN.STY
MIDI SuperTracks in style: 1918:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 140*
MIDI SuperTracks in style: 1897:Piano, Rhythm Jazz Sw 140*
RealTracks in song: 969:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountrySwingCleanHeld Sw 085
RealDrums: RealDrums in Style: JazzTerryClarke^05


*I changed the patches of these to their respective electric counterparts.

Oh, and PS: Do check out my two recent submissions in the "Just heard BBox on Youtube" forum. Those were covers so I couldn't post them here.

Janice commented that it has a "light jazz feel...kinda like something Diana Krall would do."

And Bud said "don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing."

And we both say "nice composition!"

J&B

Not every day one receives a "joined statement", at least not me laugh

But sure, I s'pose you could say the whole thing is quite structured and melodic for the genre, more a callback to the old than reinvent the wheel, if you will. Glad to hear the concept seems to have carried over as intended, thanks for commenting cool
