Hola I was listening to some old records by Dizzy Gillespie and then thought of doing a tune in his style, so https://soundcloud.com/cubanpete/night-with-dizzie was born.
Done in RB All midi using different VST except for the trumpet solo/melody which is 463Trumpet solo.

Hope you all like it.

Mike,

I like this - lots of variation throughout. The mix sounds great.

What's not to like? Somewhere in a box I have the old time sheet music for Cuban Pete as performed by Ricky Ricardo and used at the ending of the Jim Carrie movie - "The Mask".

I'd be interested how you put this together. Parts that were generated, and parts you played on?- keyboard I guess?

A little out of expertise.
Very well written.
Well mixed.
Rob.

Hi Mike,

I thoroughly enjoyed the listen. I don't know a great deal of Dizzy Gillespie's music but I like jazz and your composition certainly reminded me of those Gillespie pieces I know. It sounded just great!

A terrific use of midi, too.

This is my new favourite of your work

All the best,
Noel

Mike you've done a great job, fantastic use of swing tempo as well. Really superb all around.

Beyond my commenting abilities really but an amazing arrangement!
Like that it's not too too busy. Cheers.

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate it. Always appreciate the judgement of fine musicians like you all.

More to come.

Very cool, very lively tune!! Those crash cymbals sound huge. Great mix, and great track all around!! Take care. Greg
