Hello, forum friends I made and recorded this over 20 years ago, but I never posted it on this forum, so I'm posting it now. It's a Cuban Latin music-style piece. I only had a two-track stereo source, so I used SpectraLayers to break it down into each part and remixed them. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards. Shigeki Adachi Title: 白いドレスの女 (Translation: Woman in White Dress) Vocal: Yoko, my friend Guitar: Tatsuya Oomi, Yamaha teacher Link: https://soundcloud.com/animarorecords/woman-in-white-dress-2025Style is L_GUARCH.STY Guaracha(Salsa) Acoustic Piano played with Steinberg The Grand3 Acoustic Bass played with EastWest Goliath, Drums & Percussions played with EastWest Goliath Additional Bandoneon played with Best Service Accordions Additional Tenor Sax played with EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Additional Brass played with EastWest Symphonic Orchestra Summary of lyrics: The bustle of people, the smell of cigars, and a languid rhythm Are spilling through the bar door When I drop in on a sleepless night The bar is just like any other While I drink a daiquiri as recommended A stylish man is standing next to me before I know it His passionate gaze is staring upon me As if penetrating into my dress I can tell that he is looking for an opportunity To talk to me from the seat next to me Which should I do? Should I give him a chance Or should I leave without showing any weakness? It may have been a momentary lapse of judgment. That I smiled just a little before I knew it As if waiting for that moment, You hold your glass at an angle and greet me with a smile How quick you are, but when I look closely, You are quite the type of man I like The mysterious feeling must be because of the daiquiri How tonight goes is up to you

Oooo, what a great feel. I can see the dance choreographed for this. A lot of skirt waving and happy feet pounding the floor with an excited rhythm. Great vocal, Yoko (I could never use that sentence in the 60s & 70s  ) THe guitar is perfect in every way. I like what this one does to my moving shoulders. Good band. You were so accomplished back then that it's no surprise at the magic you consistently produce. Love it, Shigeki.

Hi Shigeki Adachi.
Wow! This sounds fantastic. When the introduction first started playing, I was reminded of Leonard Bernstein's "West Side Story". When the main song started, though, the sound became pure Shigeki Adachi and I completely forgot about Bernstein. Honestly, I wish I had your ability to orchestrate music. This is a fantastic arrangement. Your music is always delight to listen to. "Breathtaking" is a word that sprang into my mind a few times as I listened. It sounds like Yoko and Tatsuya Oomi are really enjoying themselves.
I totally enjoyed this musical journey.

Excellent Shigeki! Wonderful arrangement. I especially liked the economy and structure of the melody phrases as they passed over the chords. Really enjoyed this!!

Marty,
Thank you for your wonderful comments.
They are very encouraging.
When I can't think of new songs, I play around with my old songs.
This is a song I made when I really loved the Cuban sound.
I'd like to post a new song next time.
Best regards.

Shigeki, very smooth and entertainingly musical. Fabulous vocals by Yoko, and that lead guitar break is quite nice. Your backing track is really the glue, with the piano and bass pulling everything together nicely. The horn accents are cool, too. The sound quality is great, better than I've heard from many reconstructed stereo sources. Great job!

Salsa? I'm in I never thought this was a remix of an old recording, it's really well produced and sounds like new. And of course you nailed this genre perfectly, and I never thought your language would work so well for Salsa (German Salsa doesn't work at all). I really enjoyed it. A lot ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)

Nice touch with those horns
Yoko is a fantastic singer

It's such an honor to be compared to Bernstein.

Wow!
You did an excellent job technically and sound wise revisiting this project.
Your friend is a GREAT vocalist.
The salsa vibe is wonderful as is the mix.
To retain all the subtleties and dynamics from the original is very impressive.
Enjoyed it!

Tom,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
And I much appreciate your comment on my composition method.
My favorite way is to develop one motif with chord progressions.
I learned this method by studying the masters I respect, Jobim, Piazzolla, and Legrand.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

B.D.,
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment.
I am really glad you like this tune.
Japanese is a language that contains a lot of vowels, so perhaps it is a good match for the music sung in Spanish.
I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
