Thanx Peter, moto, and Mike for listening and those very nice comments.

Will, your welcome.

Hi Mario.

It's been so long since I last heard to you play jazz that I'd forgotten just how superb your skills are.

This is delightful listening. I love the guitar work. It sits so comfortably against the backing. You're also really skillful with the wind controller. You're definitely a music-making force to be reckoned with!

While I have EZ Keys, I've never tried the electric, Wurlitzer piano sound. It's awesome and sits really nicely on the ears.

There's nothing I'd change about this.

It's two confident thumbs up from me!

All the best,
Noel

Happy tune, could also be called In a happy mood smile Very enjoyable atmosphere, all the instruments are playing like a true band - together live - I can almost see the players smiling. Sax, piano, solo guitar - everything sounds great and the chord progression is very authentic. You always manage to surprise by experimenting with different styles and moods.

Great fun!!! The stops at around the 2 minute mark were great fun, also. Nice one - had me tapping all the time.

Hi Mario,
Really smooth sound. I've never really heard of a wind controller before. I especially thought the breaks were kind of fun like they were some kind of indicator of a big dance number or something. Very creative and a good listen!

Thanx Janne. I played in a wedding band for years so I was exposed to many genres of music. Thus I am a jack of all trades but a master of none.

Thanx for the kind review.

Now wait a minute...as I recall you have complained about the "old fingers" but that guitar is smoking! Love the chops...and tone.

We are always amazed by you and the wind controller and this is not an exception.

Most enjoyable!

Definitely a mood piece. And the mood is "the night is young, but I'm a wee bit tired so I think I'll just chill and grin." Put a smile on my face.

Hi Mario,

Well, I was surprised hearing you make Jazz songs as well! And not just an ordinary Jazz song. You did very very well.
And then I read your answer to Janne(san) and that explained everything. You can play all kinds of music!
I didn't hear wobbling piano's or reverb on the sax just a good song! Even for someone who isn't a huge fan of Jazz songs (that's me).
I think it's because you do funny things on the sax, have short breaks and all that sort of things to make a song interesting.

Enjoyed it,
Hans

J&B, yes these of arthritic fingers are not as good as they once was! At times I have a real problem fingering some jazz chords! Soloing isn't a major problem and hope that it never will be a major problem.

Thanx for listening and commenting. I greatly appreciate that.

I'm glad I could make you smile.

Mario,
Very cool sax / wind playing! Neat composition.

I think drums are hot (squashed?, not sure what is the proper term). Also, I know this is a matter of taste, but I like sax to have more reverb.... of course not every tune, but in this one it might do good.

Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

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!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
