I just thought some of you may like to hear this piece that I wrote last week. The backup group is all Band in a Box and the soloist is me on Tenor Sax. Enjoy!

Very smooth and mellow, really relaxing to listen to. I like those unexpected chord changes. Lovely piano break. Great sax playing, I would use more reverb on it, but that's just my taste.

Yeah, I started with developing what I thought would be an interesting chord progression and the ensemble I chose worked well with it. I too thought there should be more reverb on the sax but my brother always thinks that I use too much reverb. I guess I should just go with what sounds and feels right to me.

Thank you for commenting Janne.

Well done RichRayer, fantastic choice of instrumentation on this. The saxophone really glues everything together and I really dug the chord progression. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Joe. The instrumentation did work quite well and inspired me to come up with the melody that I played on sax.
Band in a Box really enables the imagination!

Man, that sax sounds wonderful. That instrument is so much like a human voice when played well.

Nice melody and arrangement and mix.

Enjoyed it!
