It was 9 years since I updated BIAB and was I ever impressed by the great artists that have recorded for the Real Tracks for BIAB 2020. I recorded this song for the jazz category. https://www.garyandmaureenshoe.com/bossa-with-band-in-a-box.html

Right, GShoe?!? When I bought it again last year, I hadn't had it since 2005, so you can imagine how thrilled I am, too. Love this bossa tune. Ron Carter has always been a favorite bassist of mine. Phil Woods, another favorite, even does some cool RTs with his alto sax. Nice new guitar you got, too. Keep 'em coming, Gary.

Dear 'GShoe'... Your lovely tune, Bossa With BIAB, is as cool as starlight, yet warm as sand on a beach under an idle summer sun. It dances and flows, it's intimate, it's sweet, and whatever your Realtrack choices were, they're ideal for the genre. Your electric guitar work is nimble, playful, not too many notes, just enough to make the spaces between them sound as musical as the notes themselves. It's brevity only serves to make me want to listen to it again, as I already have. Great to hear a jazz-influenced composition via BIAB on the forum! Until the next one, LOREN (a.k.a. 'bluage')

I'll just agree with everything bluage wrote because I think he's expressed it much better than I could. Well done, GShoe!
My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile

Thanks for your kind words Loren. I've read your thoughtful words about other artists and feel flattered. Kenny Baron just mesmerized me. He plays in areas where I've heard no others and it's him that inspired the melodies you heard on the EPI-339.
Best to You,
Gary Shoe

Hello, again, Mr. Shoe...
I'm intrigued by your comment about Kenny Baron's 'Real Track' performance. I've thought of him as a mostly low-key, rather introspective pianist.
May I ask, when you described his playing as 'mesmerizing', were you referring to his rhythmic, or melodic stylings, or both?
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
LOREN

Lovely guitar playing. Nice use of BIAB as a backup band. I like it and I'm not even that into jazz.

Hi Gary ...
Good to "meet" you! I'm not around a whole lot these days due to my wife's serious medical issues, but put aside a little time today to listen to a few tracks. I'm delighted I got to hear this! Bossa/Jazz/R&B ... all among our very favorite genres and you gave each of them ... well, not so much R&B, I guess ... a real shine ... spit and polished! I enjoyed my listen very much! Thanks for the great entertainment.
Oh ... I also got a new guitar a little over a year ago ... A Stromberg Monterey Jazz. Love it! Your Epi sounds real sweet! Your playing is smooth and nicely phrased. Best to you ...
Alan

Hey Loren;
Definitely both his melodic and rhythmic finesse. Even when he vamps in Band In A Box. But I was stunned when I heard his work on YouTube.
