There has been some talk about jazz on another thread so I thought I would show you how I’m practicing jazz. I brought the song Sentimental Journey into Band-in-a Box and regenerated it using RealTracks. I brought the song into Sonar and eliminated the melody and played a different melody so I could post it. This is basically one pass with just a couple of measure’s punch ins and outs to replay some sloppy timing parts. I only did that because I knew I was going to post it; normally when I practice I don’t post. Total time from start to finish was two and a half hours.
So the drums, piano and bass are Band-in-a-Box backing tracks and I’m playing the guitar.
I hope you like it for what it is.

Wow this sounds pretty good. Besides that you have a very lazy piano player it sounds like a good live session. Now, you never ever tell me that you don't know how to play jazz  k |

If you have a poem, I have a tune, and we exchange these, we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Will, Oren and Kara - thanx guys for listening and the very kind reviews.
Kara – I did try to make it sound like a trio invited me to jam with them, hence the fact that I’m the only lead in the song. I played in wedding bands for years so I can play a little bit of most all styles, but I’m not really proficient in any one. As they say over here “a jack of all trades but a master of none”. That’s me.

Mmmmm....this is one of the most enjoyable tunes from your Band-In-A-Box creations. 8)Your axe performance was 5 star,which really brings quite a bit of originality,for a tune that is mostly automated!  A very interesting spin on an old jazz standard...I really enjoyed this...but for some reason,I am left with an urge to consume a martini.  -Thom |

Thom, thanx for the 5 star rating; it is greatly appreciated.
Yep, this was a lounge type of song. Enjoy your martini!

Thanx for the kind words bvdp.
Did you post your version?
Maybe we should do collaboration! I bet Ronny and Azell would be interested in joining us.

No, I've not posted mine.
Collab would be fun. Guess I should start doing something like that. I usually just play with my band of one here.
Only real problem I have with collab is sending big files back and forth (I'm in a bit of broadband backwater), but so long as they are just mp3 size things, I'd be okay.
Let's talk about it ...

A hint : Use OGG files, not bigger then MP3 and almost the same quality as WAV ! k |
