Hi, all -

Just upgraded to BIAB 2009 and have now started working with the incredible RealDrums - in this case, using the jazold style.
Here's the link.

Open to suggestion. Thanks for listening.

Greetings from the San Francisco Bay Area

George

P.S. I have put up a second mix that has a different sound for those interested in such matters. I have kept the "funky" intro for now - the intention of those kicks (in the original Ellington arrangement) was to get that train kickin'. Let me know if it just sounds bad.

Alternate take -

Finest kind, GP! Your playing is flawless. Love your laid-back take on the standard.

The drum intro is stiff to the point of, well, pointlessness. Once you get past that it sounds like a relaxed jazz trio on a quiet night. Only change I'd make would be to remove the drums until the main body of the song.

P.S.: I took the time to listen to the rest of your work on iCompositions. PG, y'all might want to think about having this guy do some demos for you. You two make each other look really good.

R-

Thanks for listening. You're right about the intro, I played it in using synth drums after seeing the drum part in the conductor's score of the big band arrangement which I happen to have.
I'll try your suggestion.

I don't hear anything.

So, I tried downloading the file and have a 4.5mb file called "Take The" with no extension.

OK, I give up.

IIRC, it requires a Quicktime plugin to play; does your browser have that?

Don't know about the download thingie.

If you can't get to the alternate take, try the original mix -
