Love Peter's guitar - flashes of Barney Kessel. Just a perfect solo for this piece.

Even though it's 100% not my preferred genre, it's really well done, great arrangement and of course the vocals.
Good work from all involved smile

Peter, Janice & Bud,

It's really good.
The vocals are great and the guitar solo is very nice.
Irvine Berlin is famous in Japan for songs such as ”White Christmas” and "What'll I do."
"What'll I do" is one of my favorite songs, so if I get the chance, I'd definitely like to listen to the performance by this collaboration.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Howdy Folks ...

One word in particular comes to mind - PRISTINE!

My mother was a wonderful singer and she would sing all the old classics as she cleaned house. I was privileged to hear that almost every day for years. This was one in here repretiore. She grew up in the Big Band era. She was born in 1923. We also watched all the old classic black and white movies that featureed big Bnd Muisc. I miss hearing her sing.

But ... Janice sure knows how to get the best out of everything she sings. It's kind of like an ice cream sundae. The basic ingredient (ice cream) is rich and smooth, the topping (cherries, pineapples, strawberries, etc.) brings a new element and texture to the treat that is exciting and ingratiating to the ice cream; the whipped cream is so smooth and satisfying; and the cherry on top says this is special. And yeah, that's pretty close to describing Janets vocals.

Peter, your guitar work is always superb, but you took it to the next level with this one.

I could go on and on, but I think I've adequately made my point. This was truly a treat! Nicely done, everyone.

Alan

Nice guitar work, Peter.

Nice arrangement.
(not a fan of the BIAB ride. But you know that...)

Very cool horns!
(a bit too-up-front, I think, for the genre. Would rather hear them "underneath" and less "bright".)

Beautiful work, y'all.

Thanks floyd I actually thought the horns were a bit far back after listening to Bobby Darin's version which is certainly worth a spin.
First time I've ever really tried to use the big band horns. They were a bit temperamental and needed some work to get them to play nicely.

What a voice! Such a solid delivery of the lyric. The subtle inflections make this recording special.

Enjoyable arrangement that evolves from simple to full power nicely. Great vocals by Janice, she really makes the loneliness in growing older tangible. To me, the story would work better in slower tempo (like Bing Crosby version), but then the nice arrangement wouldn't reveal its full beauty, so the length and tempo are in good balance now.

Excellent rendition of a classic. I am most familiar with the Bobby Darin version.
Janice shines and makes it her own.
Love the instrumentation arrangement.
I arranged some tracks for this song a couple years ago but never recorded a vocal. I don't need to after hearing this one.

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."
