Dear Forum friends, Here is my third submission for Xtra Styles PAK 5 Song Contest. And it is the last one. The category is Jazz. This song was written when I was young, I remade it with Xtra Styles PAK 5 for the submission this time. I listened to various demo songs of Xtra 5 Styles to find a fitted one to this tune, and I encountered this style fortunately. Any comments encouraged. Always welcome. Best regards.

Shigeki Adachi,
This is a delight.
A beautiful song. Terrific melody.
The strings arrangement is your typical excellent job. Reminds one of the hits of the Sinatra days... Excellent mix.
I enjoyed your vocals, too.

Wow! That is lovely. The two of us love the Frank Sinatra/Ella Fitzgerald era and this took us right to that place.
What an outstanding composition, performance and production!

Shigeki,
Lush and lovely - the whole backing is nice, but those strings are just so well arranged and orchestrated. Your vocals have never sounded better. Well done!

Very nice and big feel production, I know the lyrics are there in English.
I would really love to hear it sung in English, It would definitely fall in to the big band sound here.

Hello, floyd
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune, the arrangement and my vocal. As you say, I arranged this song with consciousness of Sinatra and his arranger, Nelson Riddle. I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki.. Immediately liked the escalating melody sequence, and overall excellent production. I didn't purchase the Xtra Styles PAK 5..but, hearing this style, I think I will decide to buy it! Very professional string arrangement, and your vocal is great too! Thank you for updating a very good composition with these newer BIAB tools!

Hello, Janne
Thank you very much for taking the time to listen and comment. I am really glad you like this tune, the orchestration and my vocal. You are right. I also think the lyrics are young. I can be a little shy when singing it now. I am always very encouraged by your kind words.
Best regards.

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."

2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
