Gianfranco,
This is quality music. I love it. The trombone and trumpet are such great choices to sit on top of the stride piano. The mix sounds excellent.
Regards,
Noel
P.S. I also had a listen to your computer singing "Imagine" on Youtube. That's pretty incredible!

Gianfranco, thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed this piece, and very different from the other postings.
Thissong transported me to a smoky bar sceene, with the idea that some intrigue was happening.
I think I would have liked it even better if the the trombone were brought up a little more in the mix, but otherwise, excellent.

Thank you to all for yours nice words and for yours beautiful feedback, i'd like to write more and more , but from Italy this forum is often inacessible.
What a pity, i hope it's a temporary problem.

Ciao, Gianfranco Very relaxing and pleasant! As Noel said, I also think the trombone and trumpet are such great choices to sit on top of the stride piano. Very enjoyable listen. Best Regards. Shigeki Adachi P.S. I also had a listen to your computer singing "I will always love you" on Youtube. That's fine! By the way, I also often make vocaloid songs. Following link is my newest post of vocaloid song. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=363279#Post363279
