Hi Ray, usually I participate in the whole process. I don't ever post it unless it sounds decent to me. Not to say there's no room for improvements, but I think that happens the the best of us.
Thanks for listening.

Lionel Hampton meets Miles, Mingus, and Count Bassie! Whats not to like!

Outstanding jazz blues. You are a master at arranging RTs to form the perfect bands.

Loved it!


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Mike, I merely wanted to know where to start...from an informed position. The almost blues of the melody makes the title really appropriate.
Solid arrangement.

Well Mike, it sure seems you've got the hang of this.

Great arrangement, great choice of instruments, great vibe throughout (in more ways than one wink )

Cool, smooth, classy.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!

And man does this have it.

Great groove and mix! You are a master at these.

Good job!

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."
