Pulling out all the stops here: multiple BiaB RealTracks and Soloists plus Apple Loops and Quantum Leap Orchestral Strings recorded and mixed in LogicExpress using some 30 plus tracks. http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=134850I may still do another mix so don't be shy with your critiques. Thanks for stopping by as always. George

Nice George. I truly can not find anything wrong with that.
I do have a question about iCompositions, though. How do they react to copywritten material being placed on their site? I mean, we all know that Girl from Ipanema is not in the public domain, so, in fact, it is a copyright infringement, unless you're paying copyright fees.
Your work there is just inspiring. I wish I had studied when I had the chance.

Hey George,
That was fantastic! I do have a question about the flute. Was that a sampled flute and if so, which one, sounded great and very convincing.
Second, The Real soloist Trumpet is fine, but I have a suggestion. Would you be willing to send me the wav file without the solo? Because I would really like to put in a nice flugelhorn solo IF you would like it. Or just to try and see what you think. Just a suggestion. Matt Finley and Mac are two other fine trumpet players that come to mind, if not me you might want to try them.
To Gary Curran>It's never too late to start! Even if you just work on theory and arranging, or sequencing 15 or 20 minutes a day, you will get there.
One route that will teach you everything you need to know about Recording, Mixing, Mastering, etc is to use Reason as your sounds with Band in a Box. Reason has so many cool possibilities.

Megamagnificent, George. You are one amazingly talented guy. Your music always manages to entertains. I'm discovering that you also have a very well-developed sense of production. Top shelf music in every way  Noel

Gary-
Thanks for listening. Yes, there is the very real problem of copyright infraction. The people at iCompositions (including me) have been very lax about allowing this to go on. Some of the other sites like MacJams have much better enforcement. You definitely got me rethinking my own posting policies.
George

George. The song sounds great to me. To me nothing will ever exceed the Stan Getz version. But this is right up there.
As to copy rights. It's one of those up in the air things. On You Tube you may not upload an original tune that was done by the copy righter. But you may upload your own compositions or orignals. The bottom line is you may not upload the original song without the author's permission, in writing, to You Tube. So I don't know how this will turn out. It's your own composition done in a different way from the original.

Hi, Ed -
Thanks for listening.
The solo flute comes from GarageBand Orchestral instruments. The flute accompanying my piano solo was generated by RealTracks Set 50. I have quickly discovered that generated solos are also great for backgrounds.
Would love to hear some real, real trumpet and/or flugal horn on those solo moments. Let me know where to e-mail the files.
George

Russ,
This is not an original 'composition', it's only an 'arrangement.' If George had done a contrafact of the song, then there wouldn't be any issue, and he might even allude to the original song in the contrafact without penalty. However, this is totally an infringement.
Of course, many of us do it. My site is littered with them. While it is no protection from the law, and possibly hell-bent copyright holders, I don't think the most holders will go after people who are doing this...UNLESS they are making money off of it.
Remember Gary Wachtel and the trouble *he* got into and all his files where pure MIDI files. But, they were based off of actual charts, AND he was selling memberships to his site, which is why he got in trouble. He still has the site, still produces files, and still charges, but now, a portion of that goes to the copyright holders.
We ALL (those of us who put up copywritten material on our sites, or on public sites) could be held accountable for the songs we post. Imagine getting a letter from ASCAP or EMI/BMI asking for $10,000 in copyright fees because you posted a song on your website, and people were downloading it. Maybe the copyright holder got ahold of ISP records and showed that file was downloaded 100,000 times, and they want ten cents per instance.

George, this is very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
The best thing here is your production skills. The mixing is superb. The choice of instruments is excellent. I particularly liked layering in the flute solo over your piano. Yours was a very valuable comment for others to learn from, that the generated solos can be used as backgrounds.
Of the generated solos, the alto sax has my vote. Your piano playing is beautiful and appropriately sparse for the tune.
About the copyright issues comments by others, as has been pointed out, this is obviously not an original composition, but it also is not really an arrangement; it is a performance. This is a straight-ahead rendering of the tune (beautifully done) with some nuances in the melody similar to the way many contemporary musicians would perform and solo over the tune. In my opinion, that makes it a great mix, and a really solid performance, but not really an arrangement, which involves more than deciding who solos when. That is not meant to take anything away from the fact that this is a superb production job on this tune, and a lovely performance. And George never said it was an arrangement.
