I found this very relaxing to listen to. Brought to mind a smokey club with a high class feel.

Nice!

Mike, you know that I am a big sucker for lounge jazz so you know that I am going to love this! If you would have added some background chatter and glasses clicking I would have sworn that I was in a small jazz club.

This is an outstanding piece of music.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

You are a superb writer ... this is incredibly beautiful. That saxophone, also, is something else, in the context of this song - brilliant choice. Beautiful use of the hummed voices, too, right towards the end. Superbly done - I didn't want it to end.

Wow - this is a great showcase of strong songwriting abilities. Excellent use of the RealTracks - I love how atmospheric it is. A great example of well executed lounge jazz. Easy on the ears and instantly sets a mood.

Thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Hi Mike ...

I always have a smile on my face as I click onto one of your tracks because I know it's gonna a great listen. And this is no exception. Love the melody and , of course, the lounge element. I don't smoke, never have, but I found myself looking for a pack of my late brother's Lucky Strikes. Thanks for a marvelous listen ... totallt loved it! Best to you ...,

Another classy and elegantly produced jazz track. I really like the balance between the instruments and sense of space that you create. Excellent choice and use of the mm's as well. As Mario and others commented about the jazz lounge feel, totally agree - if I closed my eyes, I could imagine that smoky club, with the swinging bass player, and all the rest.

Had to have another listen. My time here is very limited, but sometimes you run across something you just have to hear again. Glad I did!

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
