Wow! I should probably stop there  Fantastic rendition. Such a cool blend of old flavored horns, strings & piano infused with modern Janice vocals with Peter's guitar. Love Bud mixes. Every instrument is very well situated. Easy listen. Thank you for sharing. Misha. Thank you Misha! You are very kind. Bud wanted me to mention that the mix was Peter’s. Much appreciated by us all!

Janice's interpretation is very cool, as is the guitar. Melodyne seems the perfect tool for working with those BiaB brass parts! And of course, a nice clear mix. I enjoyed listening through this a couple of time!  Thanks David. Melodyne allowed me to alter the parts without having to do frequent regenerations. Peter

Nice!
Love the arrangement, especially the way it builds towards the end, and interesting to read how you manipulated the BIAB horns.
Janice knocked it out of the park with this one, couldn't possibly be better! Just perfect tone and phrasing.
Sounding good, Peter, very tasteful playing throughout, and love that fast little lick you used to end the solo.
You three have a knack for taking an old song and making it your own, well done.
Wow! Thank you Dave. I very much appreciate your encouraging vocal comments! Janice

Hi, I listened to this whilst I was in Thailand on holidays last week but thought I’d wait until I got home before commenting.
I was sitting there in Thailand thinking how sultry it was outside then I heard Janice sing this beautifully done song and thought “boy you don’t know what “sultry” is.”
This was sung beautifully, produced as well as I would have expected from Bud and Peter’s guitar makes me proud to be an Aussie. I don’t comment often but this was well worth it.
Well done to all concerned.

Superb. Absolutely superb. Congratulations!!! Special congratulations to Janice - each song even better than the last. Thank you! Janice Peter, Janice & Bud,
It's really good.
The vocals are great and the guitar solo is very nice.
Irvine Berlin is famous in Japan for songs such as ”White Christmas” and "What'll I do."
"What'll I do" is one of my favorite songs, so if I get the chance, I'd definitely like to listen to the performance by this collaboration.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Thank you! I love many of his songs and the old movies they appear in. Janice
