This is a piece I worked up this weekend. I worked up a chord progression and worked up a melody that would fit the Crooner backup RealTracks that I used. This is the result with me recording the lead Clarinet part. https://soundcloud.com/richrayer/sweet-as-sugar

Nice! Janice and I have listened to Goodman and Shaw some over the years...and Janice played Clarinet in high school so this was a pleasant surprise.
"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!"
Enjoyed it!

Hi Rich,
You certainly achieved the sound of a big swing band! Your clarinet also blends in very nicely. Would be interested to know which RTs you used.
Good job, Jez

Thank you J&B, Greg, and Jez. Your comments are appreciated. I really had fun playing the clarinet part along with the RealTracks. I felt I was back in a Big Band once again.
The RealTracks used in this piece are:
_CROONR1.STY Crooner Big Band w/ 9-Part Horns
Drums: Jazz Brushes 2126: Bass Acoustic ~938: Guitar Acoustic 2593: Horn Section 1321: Medley (Trumpet, Trombone, Guitar, and Sax) as my soloists
I should have put these in my first post so you would know what I put together.

Thank you Joe. It was really easy to get into the swing considering the RealTracks back up I had.

Very cool Rich. I started learning music at 10 years old then combined that with Flute then the Beatles aired on Ed Sullivan and much to my mothers disappointment clarinet and flute were out guitar was in. Then Ian Anderson showed up with Jethro Tull and the flute was back in. Wished I had kept up with the clarinet is such cool instrument

Thank you Scott. Yeah, making decisions about music and training at an early age is very difficult. If we only knew then what we have learned by now. That would have made a difference (or not). I kept up my life long learning on the reeds and have tried to master the clarinet, sax and flute. I have enjoyed making music for a whole career and teaching music as well.
I am glad you enjoyed the music.
