Hi, my first post here although I've been using BIAB for about 4 years now.

I love all the jazz real tracks and here's a track I did using some of the jazz funk real drums, bass, guitar and sax.
The rhodes and horn section I played in Kontakt and the moog sound is Arturia's miniMoog V.

Thanks for listening

Pretty cool stuff
Not sure I like Kontact sound selection for some parts, horn release is off on staccato stuff, some looping points seem off, but the rest (what you did) is pretty dang cool. Nice job.
.. I'm complaining about synth selection; that's pretty petty stuff.
I appreciate you sharing. I enjoyed it.

interesting to hear this.

Last night I was loading songs from the classical fake book and applying various styles to them. Given the complex chord structures and intertwined harmonies in a lot of these songs, there is real potential to bring the classics to a pop/jazz/country stage

Well done! I like it a lot!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yes it's always interesting and surprising to hear how well some classical music works in modern styles of music.

You are the new Deodato!
I love these style-changed adaptations of classical pieces...it shows how timeless great compositions can be, even if some of the basic elements are dramatically changed.

Great rhodes! This is really interesting approach. I do remember there was a disco/jazz version of Beethoven's fifth about 35 years ago that was a hit - by Walter Murphy - but I think your take on it is much better.

and back in the 70s there was a takeoff on "JESU JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING" (the new version by Apollo 100 was simply named "JOY") As I recall it did pretty well commercially. (#6 on the pop chart)

That's flat amazing. I leave issues of horn articulation to you players. To my ear it was spot on. It would blend right in with any collection of jazz fusion from the 70s forward (which I mean as a high compliment). I'm talking Deodato, Chick Corea ("My Spanish Heart"), etc., yet it fits right in as a contemporary arrangement as well. Beautiful.
