Twixt Midnight And MornA slow, expressive acoustic piano piece you might hear played live at a supper club, lounge, etc. This is one I put together a year or so ago. It was for a Songtradr submission ... didn't get picked up. It's a simple piece played by a trio consisting of acoustic bass, drums with brushes and acoustic piano. Open to any suggestions/comments. Thanks in advance. The band, and all that stuff: File:_Twixt Midnight And Morn.SGU Key=Bb , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=3:36 Style is _SLOWBAL.STY (Slow Jazz Ballad w/ Piano & Bass) RealTracks in style: ~732:Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Ballad Sw 060 RealTracks in style: ~742:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Jazz Ballad Sw 060 RealDrums in Song: JazzTerryClarke^02-a,b:Brushes

Thanks... What a wonderful soothing musical piece for this rainy day... I always enjoy listening to your compositions! Hi Jim ... Thank you so much! I truly appreciate those very kind and warming words. Don't know what part of Texas you live in, but I lived in San Antonio for 6 years back in the 70s. Other than Houston, probably the most humid place in the country I've been to! Again, many thanks ... Alan

This had a rather smooth sound to it and was very soothing to listen to.
Cheers, Ember

I think I said twitx one time up here in the north and
everyone froze thinking I was having some kind of attack.
This sounds like a nice place, are we having surf and turf later
after the cocktails of course.
Seriously, I like this a lot, it's mixed really well
and you do introduce us to areas and sounds that I never explore on BiaB
Thanks Alan

Hi Al-David, I really enjoyed the overall tone of this. This is beautiful and I really dug the chord progression. Really enjoyed the piano movement. Well done!
Cheers, Joe

Al, I enjoyed the laid back feel- the piano never gets busy. Your progression is so smooth and the mix sounds good. Less use of the great depth of jazz Biab styles seems to be made of in forum songs-nice to be reminded like this.

Yep...sounds like the live music at one of our favorite "splurge" restaurants. Lovely progression that's taken to a very satisfying end.

Very nice work - expressive, peaceful and tranquil. It has such a nice texture to it. Smooth as silk, and really smoky. The kind of tune you can snap your fingers to no problem. I imagine it'd sound great live.
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Thanks Alan Ha! Actually, the only time I'd ever heard "twixt" used was in the title of a book Pat Boone (yeah, that Pat Boone) wrote back in the late 1950s titled "Twixt Twelve And Twenty" As I put this together, for some reason that old memory visited me and I stole that word from the book title. Glad you enjoyed it! Join me at the bar ... drinks on me! Alan

You picked a most appropriate title for your piece--it fits the mood perfectly. Very pleasing tune--made me feel very mellow.

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."
Happy Easter! Holiday Hours...
2024 is well underway - it's already Easter Weekend!
Our Customer Service hours this weekend are:
Friday, March 29: 8-4
