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

Welcome aboard.
Hard to go wrong with a well done Bossa...and this one certainly is.
Love the backing and melodic playing.

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.

Thanks Deryk. We are so fortunate to have these resources available to inspire us. I've always been melodically bent, and these players just pull it right out of you.

Gary Hello, Mr. Shoe... Thanks for answering my question. Any particular Kenny Baron YouTube video you'd like to point out to me? LOREN

Hi Loren; I think I found the piece by Kenny Barron that entrenched me as a fan. I think there are aspects of this piece that remind me of the BIAB style I used, which was, btw, "_BOSSPAT". Pat Martino plays guitar, but I muted him to put in my part on the Epiphone (sacrilegious, right ). Anyway, I think Kenny's playing on this one is economical in the Count Basie tradition, but I'm particularly fond of his voicings, where he plays in the riff, his incredible melodies, wow. In other vids, he shows he can burn with the best. But this quiet, contemplative piece is my favorite so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZw9l1hiUwUBest Regards, Gary

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."
