One More Chance Been a while since I posted one. This was our attempt at writing in the style of a jazz “standard”. Leon wrote the lyrics and I played some guitar. Janice provided the excellent lead and backing vocals recorded by Bud, who mastered the song. The Band: RealTracks in style: ~1392:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 060 (Very Simple) RealTracks in style: ~742:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 060 RealTracks in style: ~937:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm JazzBalladFreddie Sw 060 RealDrums in style:JazzSwingLewis^01-a:Brushes, Snare , b:Brushes Swirl, Busy Snare One More Chance They say an old dog Can’t learn new tricks Some things are broken Just can’t be fixed Come on, honey That’s not your style Give me one more chance To make you smile Give me one more chance To make it right Don’t give up on us At least without a fight I know this love of ours Still can be repaired Please don’t throw away All the good times that we’ve shared They say a leopard Can’t change his spots But on that subject I’ve got some thoughts My true colours Are yet to be revealed That broken heart of yours I believe it can be healed Give me one more chance To make it right Don’t give up on us At least without a fight I know this love of ours Still can be repaired Please don’t throw away All the good times that we’ve shared

Super song! Really nailed the jazz standard style. The BiaB quartet sounds great. Amazing vocals/harmonies and very effective guitar breaks. Sparkly mix/master. Ya'll nailed it!
Know I should know who Leon is, but I'm guessing it's neither Russell nor Redbone, so I'm stuck.

Thanks for the review appreciate that.
Leon is featured as a vocalist and lyricist on many of my previous posts.
If you go to the Soundcloud link for this song (or search my posts that I created here) and click on my songs you will be able to hear him.

Hi Peter (and Leon, Janice and Bud)!
A wonderful track to just and listen to with a coffee and a dash of Baileys on an Autumn Saturday afternoon. The song and arrangement is great, and Janice's vocals - especially loved the glissando effects in parts - are evocative. It reminded me somewhat of Mama Cass/Mamas and the Papas type of song.
A great listen!

That arrangement & vocal make is SPOT ON.
Warm, with a slow swing and a sweetly sad story topped off by that solo.
Well done Leon, Peter, Janice & Bud - LOVE it.
Cheers

Sultry in six syllables. Can you decifer the respectful compliment from that? Peter, you know you 3 are my favorite group, and this one is an outstanding example to prove I have great taste. And with Leon in the mix and providing lyrics the quality goes through the roof. Excellent mix, outstanding vocal with creative harmony lines, and your guitar work is always the tastiest candy any ear can chew.

Nice to hear from you guys! A successful change of style, could work as a pop song also, but the skillfully built jazzy approach brings another dimension. Clever lyrics by Leon.
Pleasant arrangement and lovely solo played with passion. And of course Janice's voice and Bud's touch are the cherries on this tasty cake.
A timeless piece, true artisan music, "Give me one more chance/To make you smile" certainly made me smile just like your earlier songs.

Hi, Music Makers (Peter & Co.) Nice ballad! Janice nails the vocals as usual - love those slides - and the guitar solos are excellent. Well, the whole band sounds good. And the bass seems to get some extra love in this mix. As others have said, a pleasant listen.

Peter, Leon & Janice,
Everything about this song just works so well. It sounds old, but familiar and the production is perfect.
I can never say enough good things about the way Janice sings. Let's just say I am a huge fan.
Loved it!
Bob

Brilliant!
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Y'all nailed that smokey, hole in the wall, jazz club vibe.
Nicely done

Great song, both melody and lyrics! And of course the singer is beyond excellent. Best thing I've heard in a while.
