Hello, forum friends

Occasionally I would like to post an instrumental tune.
This song is one of the songs written for Ballroom Dancing a few years ago. It is a Jive.
In order to post it to the forum, this time I made a new remastered version.
If you have participated in ballroom dancing once, you will surely enjoy dancing while listening to this song.

Any comments encouraged.
Always welcome.

Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi

What a great arrangement, this song is dynamic with a really quality mix.

The EastWest Symphonic Orchestra certainly delivered.

The key change added to the dimension and dynamics.

Nice.

Shigeki Adachi,

A delightful piece. A nice energy.

Strings sound great. Piano, too.

A solid mix. Sounds great.

Enjoyed.

Shigeki,
Bright breezy and gets the toes tapping.
My twirls around ballrooms were a while back and highly unprofessional- unlike your fine production!

Strong melody, cool chords with those altered 5ths, upbeat sound, good mix!

Sounds like it would be a lot of fun to dance to. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Shigeki,
Fun composition, nice progression and key changes. Excellent melody. Good mix!
Must me a lucky gambler. Some previous arrangements you had a made into live versions. Would be interesting to see what will happen if you decide to take this to next level. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Shigeki this is outstanding. I loved that chord progression, i.e. augmented chords. Those strings were gorgeous. The piano was also great.

I really enjoyed this instrumental masterpiece.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

This is a great composition with many wonderful components ... but the most standout is that piano!

It took no time to get Janice dancing smile

Sophisticated and very well done!

Much quicker tempo than I was expecting. Very NICE! A truly lovely chord progression, ever rising. Just makes you happy to hear. It simply produced a smile on my face that never left. Wonderful.
