Along with many we have never considered the Allman Brothers to be a "Southern Rock" band (nor did they) but rather a great blues-rock-jazz fusion band.
This new album is a jazz tribute to the brothers and to keep things down to earth a former ABB guitar player AND a PG Music artist, Jack Pearson, plays guitar on it. Well worth the listens if you're are inclined toward the style.
Thanks for the heads up, Bud, I'll check that out for sure!
I just did a bit of research on Jack Pearson, he is a guy that mostly slipped under my radar for some reason. He has had, and continues to have, quite a career!
Hold on there a minute guys. What have they done with these classic southern rock songs! Big band versions?? Made Jazz out of some thing that ain't Jazz! Sorry, perhaps I need to listen some more but I don't know if I can? Is that a trombone I hear?

Lucky. Could've been a banjo

I've considered the Allmans to be a fusion jazz band for years. I have no idea if they ever thought of themselves as that but the stuff they came up with is amazing. Elizabeth Reed and Stormy Monday are the two that come to mind as the jazziest. If you've never done it, try charting out Elizabeth Reed and you'll see what I mean. There's a lot going on with that tune.

Do you remember when all the jazz cats were playing Beatles songs?
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.

Always loved Memory of Elizabeth Reed ever since the first time I heard it back in the 70's, such a great song.
Check out Situation and Freeway Jam by Jeff Beck too. Probably the most covered by jazzers 70's era rock/funk song is Pick Up The Pieces by Average White Band. I charted that out 30 years ago and played it in small groups up to a full big band.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
