Alan,

This is beautiful... A lot of feeling in this song and arrangement - great mix as well. Everything breathes just right.

Really nice! BIAB is so awesome, even when you just let it 'run free' like this!
Did I hear you sneak in a nice diminished chord somewhere? Gave it an unexpected interesting twist.
Thanks for sharing, Alan, and looking forward to your next submission as well.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the nice comments. I wondered if possibly the left channel guitar was a little too much. Thanks for verifying the balance id okay. Much appreciated.

Hi@!

Thanks for the listen and very kind comments. I'm a big fan of using diminished chords, where appropriate, to add a little character to the song. Another chord I use when I can is the minor 11th. I use it primarily where a 1-2m-5 progression would be common. I simply use the m11 to replace the 2m and 5 chords. the minor 11th is so similar to a 5 chord that it's a perfect melding of the two. probably way more than you wanted to know. Thanks again.

Alan

Alan,
A fine, smooth vehicle for that sax.
Nice changes and the mix sounds very good on my headphones.

Man, you own these BiaB instrumentals! That is so nicely done.

I'm sure we've often used the word but again, "CLASSY."

Best to you re the contest!

Hi Alan,

This is a wonderful listen! Smooth, classy and mixed really well. I hope this does your proud in the competition! I reckon that you have a set of the finest ears going when it comes to composing in this genre. Whenever I listen to your smooth jazz works, I always sit here transfixed. Your musicality shines.

My best wishes to you and Di,
Noel

P.S. I love this title!

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."
