Loved your arrangement Fran. The G70 in your talented hands sounds great.

If we are making bets....I bet it's a Tune 1000 midi file. Song #7 of the 72700 group.



Sounds real nice on the G70, for sure.

Hi Donny because you asked, here's my 2006 Yamaha Tyros2 rendition of 'Corcovado' which I sang & played live (in arranger mode), & simply recorded directly to the Tyros2 keyboard's hard drive: LISTEN HERE

Scott,

Excellent.

I can see why you want to hold on to your T2...you've got it tuned in perfectly.

Nice vocals, very cool guitar and piano solos...definitely a terrific rendition of this tune.

Well balanced arrangement, and a great style...was it a Tyors2 on-board Bossa?

And no SMF! Super stuff, dude!

Ian

Yep. Tyros2 preset style: "PopBossa2"

Again, another storm in a teacup...

No it doesn't MATTER whether Fran played over an SMF or a style...

BUT... if it IS a style, I certainly would like to get it!

And, if it ain't a style, I'd like to know how much of it is Fran, and how much is the SMF. So appropriate kudos can be given... It would not be the first time someone has posted stuff here that turned out to be predominantly the commercial SMF.

Personally, I think Fran did the sax and the piano parts. And quite nicely, especially the sax...

And the guitar gave away the SMF, anyway... I would DIE to have an arranger that played such accurate (and tasteful) guitar voicings based solely on a chord I played!

I figured....very nice...great Bossa...perfect for that tune.

Your voice suits this type of music very well...nice and smooth, not at all "lounge-lizardy"...

The piano solo was restrained yet spoke very well, the guitar was a little to much in the high notes, but perhaps the "guitar player" was ridin' high on the neck as a contrast to the "piano player's" focus in the mid-range...ah, in any case, it was well put together.

Very "live" sounding yet still has that great Yamaha polished sheen to it.

Ian

Probably don't matter much I guess if it's style or SMF, but if it is the latter, then the composer of it chose the chords for Fran rather than him voicing them for himself.

I'm sure if it is a commercial file, then someone has it and will recognize it.

The sax playing is very good, and nearly sounds convincing, not quite SA voice level, but pretty darn good.

Ian

Ian please post some convincing SA sax demos for us to comapare to the G70 which to me sounded like a real player for sure.

Thanks
