Lovely!

I (Janice) listened to this first last night while cooking supper and I had a delightful time dancing around the kitchen, pretending Bud was cheek to cheek with me. (He says the only way he could dance is if someone is shooting at his feet.) smile

When we listened again together I had to get up and dance around the room to show him how much fun he was missing. Y'all delivered a lovely tune from the opening vibes to the sax solo to the final note.

We both enjoyed it and wish we were sitting in a little club hearing more of your songs.

J&B

Nice work on this, to me it captured an era well !!.

Thanks

Loren, you know this is my kind of thing, excellent job but I was asking for more. That's the problem with nicely done tunes.
Cheers

Dear Ms. Janice...

I really and truly dig the fact that music makes you wanna move. Ain't dat what it was made for??? I'm happiest when I get that kind of response to my compositions/songs. I'm sure 'Icelander' appreciates your response, too!

Thank you for giving the piece a taste smile.

Dear 'cubanpete'...

You know, the brevity of it bothered me for a while because I imagined we could improve on it, but we couldn't. There's a reason for the phrase, "short & sweet", right? Thank you for auditioning it and leaving a comment.

Hi bluage,

Splendid very jazzy composition that you put on this platform. Good orchestration, all the instruments are fully expressed. It is very pleasant to listen to. Well done.

Nice tune. Good work to both of you. I expect Bogey to enter the room with a dame on his arm at any moment.

Hi bluage,

I really would like to listen to this track, but absolutely nothing happens when I click on the play button. Do I need to be signed up to SoundClick to be able to listen?

Will

Hi again.. I tried again... and now it works. It is a great and inspiring track! Very much a in a style I love. My only complaint is that it is too short... it is actually very, very short... With such a good idea you should have explored the harmonies more... smile

Anyway, I enjoyed listening a lot!
Will

Hi, Will Josef...

Concerning the brevity of the song, we probably could've added some more choruses with different solo instruments improvising over changes. It's just that we liked the idea of a 'moment' of music so concentrated in form and duration that its impact would be more intensely felt.

Really happy to read it had the desired effect on you!

Thank you for listening to it smile.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

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.

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."
