One word immediately comes to mind ... CLASSY

Janice said she was taken back to a very cool jazz bar that we visited in Charleston SC many years ago.
Your write is very emotive and the vocal picked that up and nailed the feeling.

Your band is excellent! How long have you been playing with those guys/gals? smile

And your mix set up the perfect soundstage on our monitors with a genuinely live feel.

Good to see you around and we much enjoyed your re-entry.

Dear Bud & Ms. Janice...

Music was made to be listened to, so I'm deeply grateful that you listened to 'Sighns' and revealed what you enjoyed about it! Concerning 'the band', all praise must go to Band-in-a-Box software that makes desktop musicians sound like professional performers.

I'll just elaborate a touch - vocals were very genre appropriate and as Bud said classy. Very nice backing by the band and overall a very polished composition.


'PeterF', thank you for listening so closely to the song and providing specific feedback!

Great sounding nightclub band, the flute part is very tasty and I like the vibe ending, could have been even longer.

Janne

P.S. Cry Me A River started playing in my head after I stopped listening to your song. Maybe I need few more listenings smile




Hello, 'jannesan'. I think your recall of 'Cry Me A River' is a flattering response to your audition of my song. Julie London's performance was unforgettable!

This is a rarely heard style here and you present it with class.

'Robertkc', your comments about the song are very gratifying. Thanks for listening!

Super vocals! Mix and production is PRO level. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Loren,



I love that Oliver Gannon (famous brother of Peter Gannon) guitar Realtrack. Oliver's flair for jazz is extraordinary.

Your flair for jazz is equally extraordinary. I have no idea how you managed to sing so comfortably against all those extended chords! I'm very, very envious. I find that when I move away from major and minor sounds, I'm really challenged to stay in tune. You did a brilliant job!

I thoroughly loved this smooth and elegant ride in the land of jazz.

All the best,
Noel

Hello, 'Noel96' ...

I believe that musicians/performers sing songs that makes them feel that they are expressing, releasing, giving up, all of who and what they are, totally. That's why there's such an infinitude of musical genres, styles, whatever. That such unlimited variety of musical vibrations exists in our souls and in the universe, is an on-going miracle!

Thank you for listening and commenting on the song.

Very Sinatra-esk.... nicely done. I wouldn't have a clue how to sing a jazz song. I've done a few instrumentals with guitar but I wouldn't risk trying to sing it.

Totally cool.

Super smooth vocal! Perfect jazz backing tracks in a great mix.

I really enjoyed this and you should do more in this genre.

Hey, there, 'Guitarhacker'...

I didn't 'have a clue how to sing a jazz song' until after years and years of listening to the pros do it!

Thanks for listening and commenting. When ya gonna post those guitar instrumentals so we can enjoy hearing the jazz heart of Mr. Herb Hartley ??? smile

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."
