This is great!!!
Lots of action indeed... this is really, really well crafted music. And the piano playing is fantastic. Is that you?
An excellent journey in jazz! I really enjoyed where you took me.
All the best,

Wow, great job on this Mike! It's a powerful tune, with an infectious groove. It's the kind of tune that almost feels like it takes you on a journey. It reminds me a little bit of some stuff that Bob James has done. Thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Thanks Noel, Deryk and David for the listen and comments. The piano solo is all generated midi. I wish I could play like that!
And Deryk, your'e right about Bob James tunes, he wrote a few film an tv show themes.

Mike,
I love the Hawaii 5-0 sounding drums on the intro and then the piece really takes off with some very tasty improv.
A beautifully balanced mix as expected from you.
Excellent!
Robert

What a great groove, the drum intro really lights the fire and the going never stops. Very nice one to get into good mood this morning Janne

Hi, "cubanpete"... Your composition, "L.A. City" makes policing sound very hip, w-a-y cool, and a whole lotta fun, so I'm gonna sign-up -- today!  Seriously, though, the drum solo intro was unexpected and exciting. In my experience with the User's Forum, it's the first song I've heard that opened in that way. The rhythm also was exciting, as though it had some kind of unusual compound meter going on. Very refreshing that was! You may have created a new theme song for "Miami Vice: 2017"! It's always a pleasure to listen to your well-composed and produced compositions, "cubanpete". Also, I'm glad to see that you didn't report any personal hardships concerning your experience with Hurricane Irma. LOREN

Hi Mike,
Yep, exciting as all get-out! Latin Fusion - great stuff. I think you know I'm a big fan of your excellent work. This is a B-I-G composition and you handled all the parts very nicely. That opening was pretty danged good! Best to you,
Alan

Thanks to you all, Janne, Loren, Scott, Alan and Torrey for the always encouraging reviews. As far as hurricane damages, no personal ones a couple of trees here and there and a fence gone, but thanks God we're fine.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
