HOW SOON

One of my favorite Mancini tunes. Thought I’d give it a try. I was encouraged to share. It is my understanding that I could post this cover song on Forum because I hold a mechanical license. If that's not correct, just remove. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy. Thanks again PG Music for all you do.

Style: JZBALTS: (sax Removed) BIAB/RealBand
732: Acoustic Bass of Neil Swainson
742: Acoustic Piano of Miles Black
1219: Vibes of Steve Nelson
Jazz Brushes: Terry Clarke

Lovely Carolyn. I enjoy your smooth jazz very much and the lower registers on your voice are very sweet.

My thoughts exactly!

Carolyne, am I correct in thinking that you have performed before a live audience or two in your time? There is a sultry lounge presence that comes through in all of your songs.. and this one is particularly full of that vibe!

Awesome song, excellent arrangement and Lovely vocals! Thanks for posting!

Thanks, Pat and to everyone for their positive input. Yes, I am a professional singer, in that I have been paid to sing, performing in small clubs (which I love), and was on the hotel and country club circuits with various bands throughout the San Francisco Bay area for more than thirty years, before semi-retiring.

I sang what and how bandleaders told me, one to whom I was married, with little input to what I wanted. But, PG Music has brought another dimension to my performing. It has literally allowed me to find my own voice. I have discovered that in addition to singing, I can write songs. And while I'm a terrible pianist, unable to accompany myself to my liking, I know how to, at a minimum, voice chords in a manner that compliment my voice and style. That is what I think you hear.

I make little to no money from the songs I write and record through BIAB, but what I gain intrinsically would make a MasterCard commercial because it's” priceless”!

Thanks for listening.
-Carolyne

Lounge jazz, love it and you did it more than justice! I could listen to you singing this genre for hours.

Great vocal with a super backing track.

This is a keeper.

Interesting as after playing what other people wanted, I was in wedding bands for years, I am also using BiaB to play what I want to play. BiaB is one fantastic piece of software!

Very nice work.

You can post covers when you do it the way you did.... totally legal.

You should be making money from this kind of music....so I'm PM'ing you something you may be interesting in.

Good job.

Beautiful!

Thanks Rob and Anne-Marie for listening. Jazz has many forms. I will say that while I love classifying myself as a jazz singer, I have a number of jazz singer friends that would beg to differ. It's all about what appeals to one's ears. Hugs.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
