Very well done instrumental, Tony. I like that you played it "live" as it adds more of your personality to the music.

I like the genre of style you used too...I generally play this with a Slow Jazz Ballad in cut time. Your arrangement adds a more "up" feeling to the tune.

Keep 'em coming...it's a real treat to hear your music.

boo and Ian ... thank you for your very kind words ... yes, boo, I play all the songs you mentioned ...
I generally like to play with styles and have 'customized' the voices on many of them for certain songs ...
A lot of my OMB work has been in restaurants or CC playing for the dinner crowd, so I actually feel I have more flexibility using styles ... I am able to jump from a Latin to a Swing style in the same song, as I want...

that's not to say I don't use SMFs for certain songs, but there too I have usually done a fair bit of 'customizing' and have even created a couple of 'backing tracks' where I play over the chord progression ...
I very much appreciate the fact that you are enjoying my instrumentals, as -knowing my limitations- I am often reluctant to do them for other musicians ...
My chords are generally right out of the book, and my 'ad lib solos stay right around the chord progression' ...

Stay tuned for more ... as the saying goes "be careful what you ask for..."
