Jazz Abstraction Hi All Yesterday I did 4 improvisations on a keyboard to Billy Jean. The Improv's were in different keys A, F , C , Bb... I was just using micheals vocals as a basic guide. I opened the midi's with : M_JAZSWN.STY Jazz Swing Piano Trio [140 MST] Jazz swing style with ac. bass & piano MIDI SuperTracks & JazzTerryClarke RealDrums. Bass plays 'in-2' at A, then switches to a walking pattern at B. (MST-Ac.Bass, MST-Piano, Drums=JazzTerryClarke^05-Br 1917 : Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 110 1896 : Piano, Rhythm Jazz Sw 110 438: Sax. Alto, Older Sw 140 (Bluesy) So this is 4 songs combined with all conflicts removed. Hope it's not too abstract for you... thanks for the listen

Sounds Jazzy and cool my friend!
But I am confused.
Where is Ozzy and the ear-splitting guitar shredding? I thought you were a heavy rock God.
What are you doing being so jazzy??????

Really nice job on this, LPman I love the groove on it. It definitely has some abstraction to it - but I found it flows really well despite it. Thanks for sharing this!
Cheers, Deryk

I need a whiskey and a cigarette and some background noise of glasses knocking about and I'd feel like I was at Snug Harbor in New Orleans listening to Ellis Marsalis.
I always enjoyed that and I enjoyed this composition.

Hi David Snyder, I am only a "Common Creative Attribute" heavy rock God.... I have to pay a licence for using "Magix Music" if I want to profit from my music.... Right now... I am an unlicensed, heavy rock God! thanks for your cool SC comment & your inquiring unintentional but embarrassing question...lol

Thanks Deryk - PG Music, this was an insane project using vocals of Billy Jean, because the styles didn't match. Not sure if this qualifying method would be reliable... Below is Micheal Jackson sing along "Jazz Abstraction" BilyJean116SourceAssembleFXFinal After removing the Billy Jean vocals; It definitely has some abstraction to it - but I found it flows really well despite it. Thanks for posting your conclusion... greatly appreciated.

Hello, LPman
Yes, this is exactly an abstract jazz! But very comfortable! I have no idea at all how you got an idea for this tune. I feel I would like to peek into your head once. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi Thanks so much Shigeki Adachi, If you click below: Creative Commons: Tethered 2018 The piano & bass midi files for "jazz abstraction" But most importantly is a billy jean vocals sung over my jazz abstraction song... that's how I wrote song... I then removed the billy jean vocals... I could write many songs this way.... and I might!

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."
