Mike,

you have a real knack for making believable instrumentals! Every single one of your projects has sounded like it was played by a real band. And based on my experience with BIAB, it takes some work to consistently get that kind of realism. The randomness of RT generations virtually guarantees some passages that sound unlike something a real performer would play.

Whatever you do to get just the right snippets lined up is sure working! Keep it up!

Cool little number!! Pat said it right. You have a great knack for getting "the band" to groove. Guess you just need to know how to motivate the musicians. Fun tune! Take care. Greg

Very nice tune. It sounds like the engineer just let the tape keep rolling while the band had quite the jam session going on between recording sessions.

Thanks for the listen and the comments guys. Guenter, you're right, I forgot, the vibes are midi using the ST2 vibes patch. And yes Greg, when you motivate the musicians and pay them well that's what happens.
Thanks again
More to come

Mike B.

Enjoyed that one Mike. Very playful.
I know it's a jazz waltz but it counts in 4 in my head!
Strange head I guess.
Cheers.

Reminds me of the feel in Wes' West Coast Blues. Nice groovin' and yet still laid back. I like how the organ comes in with the double time feel the second time it comes around to solo. Nicely done.
