Well,

This may be my last post before 2016, and I thought I would go out with some Jazz. My songwriting colleague and band member buddy is Jon Healey, who is a columnist for the LA Times and who also blogs about music and art for them. Jon is blowing sax on this one, and the bed is basically just the old "Jazz Fred" style with some embellishments. I was trying to conjure up the days of Sinatra and we were just having some fun.

This is from an album we will release in early 2016 called Heaven Knows. The name of our group is The Swinging Verves.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Jazz Baby Yeah!! Oh behave!!!!

I love jazz, and I really enjoyed these lyrics!

As I was listening, I started to imagine a female either singing as a duet with your or just for some background vocals! That's my bias when it comes to jazz music, though. It's like, you could eat the Oreo by itself, but it usually is best with milk. haha!

Good job!

Fun song David!! Nice parody on the Sinatra thing. I'm a huge fan of Old Blue Eyes. No one could do it like he could. This is really nicely put together. Good job on the arrangement/production. Enjoyed it!! Take care. Greg

Cool song David. It is very reminiscent of the Sinatra era and you guys did a good job of capturing that time. Great sax, vocals and lyrics.

Nicely arranged and produced. We listen to our share of
Ella and Frank and Tony so we slid right into this style.

As Sonny alluded to you guys really did capture the vibe!

Thanks for the journey.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
