Chris
You've managed to find a number of real tracks and put them together to make a great song. Nothing against bass solos but this one wasn't the strongest part of the song.
Top job anyway.

If I understand it - there's no live playing on this one? Just the solos as come with realtracks bundled with BIAB.
This explains the strange transitions. My first impression was - great playing! but the guitarist needs to work on resolving or I was wondering if the solos were not following form (I was fairly passive in my listening).
I was also noticing strange jumps in range - so using realtracks I understand. As this is a "feature" of the realtracks solos that stands out. Sometimes the range will shift abruptly seemingly mid-phrase and this is just a case of not all phrases link together perfectly.
As far as the bass playing - I thought it was great (not N.H.0.P. great, but still great). The start was a bit "off" but interestingly - it kind of sounded like what a human would do if the guitarist didn't sound like they resolved and the bass player was put on the spot to start a solo where they felt the guitarist would go on for longer.
Which kind of folds into a wishlist:
1) Ability to make end of solo play a more resolving phrase
2) Ability to limit difference of last note of a RT "segment" to the start of the next RT "segment" (which can cut down on the "jumps" if that's what you want)
Note there are other cases where "segments" do not fit together. Some tracks the soloist has a wide range of tone (Eric on Sax for example) so darker phrases and brighter phrases stand out when merged together.
3) Ability to limit repeating an RT "segment" (I didn't hear anything that stood out in the recording here). Although it would be interesting if I could go to a RT rendered part - click on the chorus#/bar# and swap out just that one RT "segment" (phrase) to something else if there was a part I felt was not satisfying enough. Maybe RealBand allows this as I am more often using BIAB.
It's great that BIAB keeps you guessing between computer produced and live. Nice showcase.

I'm a big fan of the Manouche style of GJ and this is a fine compilation.
Well done
Ian

Cool use of RT's -- we've listened
to a fair amount of gypsy jazz and
we enjoyed this!!
The mix sounded really good on our
KRK monitors.
Nice arrangement.
J&B
PS: FWIW and IMO Jason's wishlist can
mostly be met by doing a LOT of comping
(cutting and pasting regenerations).

At some point, I "fell off" - to circle back: I think giving the software unlimited tries at a solo - then slicing/dicing the best phrases to splice together kind of defeats the original intent of the software. The goal is for the software to construct something that sounds organic by pressing a button - magic happens - and poof - Django comes up with another classic solo.
The suggestions were some things to think about feeding into the features - possibly having some control over how close a new phrase picks up from the last note of the last phrase - and how often this occurs (100%? 25%?). This way, you could "dial in" 60s-era Tom and Jerry if you wish, or dial in Lee Konitz.
I haven't ordered/tried 2017 yet.

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."
