Greetings friends. Just a little cell phone video of me playing along to Band In A Box. This tune uses a style called "_SJAZZP1.STY. Smooth Jazz Poppy Rhythm" which consists of the following real tracks: RD: SMOOTHJAZZPOPPY^4-a:Sidestick, HiHat , b:Snare HiHat :Franklin (Third) Richardson RT909: Bass, Electric, SmoothPoppy Ev16 090 , Vernon Barbary RT912: Piano, Electric, Rhythm SmoothPoppy Ev16 090 , Jeff Lorber RT1236: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm SmoothJazzPoppy Ev16 090 , Dwight Sills This tune was recorded in one take (warts and all! ) using the audio record feature in BiaB, and then the audio was merged with the video in Windows Movie Maker. Cheese Powered Cheese Thanks for watching, Dan

Dan,
Who could resist that title. LOL!
That is one sweet sounding sax. The song and RT's you put together was a cool laid back listen.
I really enjoyed watching and hearing you play.

Sweet chops on that tenor!! Very nicely done in every way (song, arrangement, mix). Love the way that sax sings! Take care. Greg

Dan, pretty easy on the ears. Very sweet and laid back. You'd be very pleased with that result!

I really enjoyed watching and hearing you play. Thanks! The title popped into my head as I was taking a break and eating a piece of cheese. As I munched on my cheese, it occurred to me that I was fueling my cheesy song with actual cheese - Cheese Powered Cheese so to speak. Sweet chops on that tenor!! Very nicely done in every way (song, arrangement, mix). Love the way that sax sings! Take care. Greg
Thanks, Greg. I'm trying to get a little bit of my sax chops back. I haven't played it seriously for a number of years now. This little ditty is (hopefully) a small step on the way to becoming a better sax player. Dan, pretty easy on the ears. Very sweet and laid back. You'd be very pleased with that result!
Thanks for sharing
Trev Thanks very much. I am pleased with the results, and I have learned a few things about making a video, as well. This is only my third attempt at making a vid. Each one seems to get a little better than the last. I hope the trend continues. Lol Thanks for watching, Dan

Hi Dan,
very pleasing tune and arrangement. You got a very good lip after some years of break. I enjoyed this very much. The video adds a lot of entertainment. Please keep on doing this.

Hi Dan,
Well, if you can play like that, you definitely don't need the Sax Soloists in Biab! Quite some equipment there too. Good job!

We've always thought the sax was the instrument closest to the human voice and you can certainly make it sing. We enjoyed it all...your playing, the RT's and the mix.
Sounds great on our monitors!

Thanks, Floyd. I'm trying not to take this whole making videos thing too seriously. Hi Dan,
very pleasing tune and arrangement. You got a very good lip after some years of break. I enjoyed this very much. The video adds a lot of entertainment. Please keep on doing this.
Guenter Thank you very much, Guenter. I've been spending a little bit of time practicing, and slowly but surely things are starting to come back. There will definitely be more in the future. I'm trying to get enough videos together to make a DVD for my 82 year old mother who has been bugging me to play more saxophone. I'd just send her to YouTube, but she doesn't even have a computer let alone internet access. Here's a couple of my earlier attempts if you're interested. Washing Machine Blues Gee, Blues Hi Dan So nice to see a video posted of you playing along to Band in a Box in your home studio. Very nice! Thanks, Josie. Much appreciated. Hi Dan,
Well, if you can play like that, you definitely don't need the Sax Soloists in Biab! Quite some equipment there too. Good job!
Rob and Anne-Marie Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie. One of these days I'm going to sit down with the soloist tracks and maybe steal a few licks. The video only shows about half of the gear I have setup. There's a 2 more keyboards and my DAW in front of me. I'm a bit of a pack-rat, it seems. We've always thought the sax was the instrument closest to the human voice and you can certainly make it sing. We enjoyed it all...your playing, the RT's and the mix.
Sounds great on our monitors!
J&B Aww shucks. You guys have me blushing now! Thanks very much. I agree that the saxophone is very much like the human voice in sound and expressiveness. As an added bonus, when I practice the sax my singing also improves. They both use the same breathing and support techniques. I really enjoyed that, always great to see someone play live.
Good to see the ole patchbay is still in use. laugh
Definitely a relaxing listen
Alyn I'm glad you enjoyed it, Alyn. Thanks! I used to be an electronics tech, so when I was offered a free patch bay by a friend, the inner nerd in me had to have it. It really does save a lot of messing around with cables. Thanks for watching, Dan

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."
