DrDuBose,

Thanks for the very constructive criticism. You may have hit on the 'what's missing' element ie, more sax timbre. Listen with phones or speakers if you can and advise.

I used 3 separate tracks for the horns. There is a nice barritone sax (which may not come through enough on just the PC speakers ?), but may not be mixed up enough ? One track of 2 part horns using the 'Snappy Brass' patch in Garritan and a trombone track.

The Garritan part is easy, just apply the Aria Player and select an appropriate patch on the corresponding midi channel the part was written on. The trick is in writting the midi with expression. I may need to try some different horn patches to get it 'just right'.

As for the guitar solo, I like the way it came out and not considering changing it. It is Jack Pearson RT #819. He was the best guy available at this tempo and swing feel (country swing vs Jazz). I regen'd his solo until I got the result recorded.

Thanks you guys for taking the time to listen and critique !
