Hi RandallSmith,
I hope you take this kindly as I am new to this forum and don't know you at all.
I played jazz guitar for many years as well and in the beginning I played too many and way too long solos in my band. The problem with a long, long solo is that the listener loose interest in what is going on and starts to get impatiently waiting for something else to happen. So pauses is a very good idea when you are playing solos, because pauses creates tension (the listener will be looking forward to what is going to happen next).
I got a little bored after maybe 3 or 4 minutes listening to your track, but I think you can improve it a lot if you put a few "pauses" in... so maybe 4 or 8 bars without solos will make one looking forward to the next part of the soloing.
I really hope you understand what I mean and that I am not offending you by writing this.
Kind regards, Will

Hi Randall and welcome to this community! I enjoyed your tune and like your jazzy tone! The song itself has some beautiful moving chord changes and melody that I really like! I look forward to hearing more of your compositions! Thanks, Torrey

Will: Thanks for your comments. I was "woodshedding" over the changes. I'll shorten up the solos for outputting to SoundCloud. I know exactly what you mean - your input is much appreciated. Randall

Really nice work on this one Reminds me a lot of certain tunes by Bob James. Love the groove, and the keys on this flow beautifully. Very peaceful, and very easy on the ears. Great job - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
