Easy Swing Pachelbel

Style is _J085_BD.STY (Classy Easy Swing Ballad), Chords taken from Ultimate Guitar.
481:Bass, 487:Piano, 555:Guitar,2953:Strings,747:Piano, 492:Trumpet RealDrums JazzBrushesSticks
Mixed in Reaper, Ozone Elements 8 bass (thick bass) and master (contemporary jazz), cymbals added from Ableton Live Lite because it's so easy to do. Everything else has latency (SampleTank 3, Sforzando, Aria) and all the samples I've downloaded are too hard to go searching for.

Hi Marty.

This is a real nice, easy swing piece. Very relaxing and a pleasure to listen to. I particularly enjoyed the trombone. Nice work!!!

Interesting listening.

Marty,

Interesting and smooth way to make Pachelbel swing - the trumpet really adds class.

Mr. Sorenson...

This "Easy Swing Pachelbel" was a surprise in form, chord structure, tempo and feel. It's always interesting to hear classical works adapted to the jazz genre, if only to listen them swing with their new jazz clothing on!

For me, those bluesy piano breaks were like little intros that opened the door into the next, and then the next, segment of your low-key, mini-chamber jazz composition. It had an elegant, orderly sound with just the right flavor and quality of improvisation from the solo instruments.

May I ask what the name of the source composition is -- if there was one?

Classy jazz, indeed!
