Wonderfully upbeat! It does sound like it belongs in a movie from the 50's. A movie I would watch in a heartbeat.
Very well put together. Inspirational! 'gruverider'... I wish I'd been old enough in the 50's to have composed this for a movie  !!! Glad to read you felt it was an 'upbeat' listening experience. I thought it was, too. Thank you for clicking on the 'play' button! Sincerely, - bluage -

I think Di hit the proverbial nail on the head ... could have been the soundtrack in an early James Bond movie (when Sean Connery was still playing the part) when the setting was Spanish or Latin. That would have been really cool!
Alan & Di Hello, again, 'Al' & Ms. Di  ... You're the second party to make the comment about how the song would fit into a movie. That would be cool  . I saw Sean Connery bust a few dance moves behind the podium at a televised American Film Institute event honoring his life's achievements in film. I wonder if he could dance the bossa nova...??? If not, he could benefit by taking a few lessons from Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, eh??? I sure do appreciate your well-considered comments, Al & Ms. Di ! Truly, - bluage -

João Gilberto would be very pleased with this production and arrangement.
Absolutely everything has been delivered.
The scat worked so well throughout the song also.
Great! 'VideoTrack'... That's a nice thing to say! Boy, you don't know how many times I've wished that I'd been born earlier, in Brazil, and living within earshot of where Mr. Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, and his other contemporaries got together to work out the vision of their new music called, 'Bossa Nova'... Glad the 'scat' worked for you, too . Thanks for listening, 'VideoTrack'!!! Sincerely, - bluage -

A captivating listen, not much more I can add to all the excellent comments so I just sat back and listened.
Excellent work, imaginative and movie soundtrack worthy.

This has "professionally done" written all over it. Superb job, had me dance! You know exactly what you're doing and you're doing it brilliantly with this song. Well done!

I have the same problem trying to play the track at the SoundClick website through my browser, which is Bing, but I believe it's because I'm still using Windows XP operating system. Thanks for making an attempt to listen to it. Hope it works on whatever other browser you try! - bluage -

Thanks 'beatmaster'... Yessiree, I agree that instrumentals 'are always tricky' !!! Their differing sound characteristics make it difficult to achieve the balance you mentioned. It took me about...two weeks to get everything sounding 'correct' to my ears. Your comment about the track being 'well-balanced' validates the effort I put into it! Next post, I'll try to produce something to listen to that won't be so 'short' in its duration !!! I really appreciate you paying such close attention to the music. - bluage -

'musician17'... Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout !!! My constant, persistent approach to composing music in any genre, is that it must have a rhythm -- slow, medium or fast -- that invites listeners to wanna dance to it. I'm so-ooo glad you responded to it in that way !!! Myself, I'm a dancin' fool, and so much so that in grade school I was constantly getting into trouble in the classroom because I was always shakin' my bee-hind. Ha, ha, ha !!! If I were cuttin'-up like that in class, now, in these times, when so many children are beng prescribed drugs to control their so-called 'disorders', I'd probably be diagnosed as being 'hyperactive'. Hell, all I thought I was doin' was havin' a whole mess'a fun behind the teacher's back, ha, ha !!! I'm grateful for your very positive comments on the song, sir. Thanks for hearin' it out. - bluage -

Loren,
Tasty stuff and a beautiful tribute! I would prefer Bar.Sax a little higher on the solo, but that just an opinion of average listener. Overall, production is great. I enjoyed this relaxing tune.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hi Loren, Is that really Band In A Box? The presentation is AWESOME.  This must have taken ages to put together. The sound is professional through and through and really sparkles with a ton of zing and pizzazz. Everything about this, shines. The bossa feel is sublime and I love the vocal addition. The star of the show, though, for me is the guiro player of yours! He really knows when and where and at what speed to scrape the guiro to make is sing! This is incredibly good! I'm going back for another listen now. All the best, Noel

Firstly, this sounds like a "band." A band in the sense of guys/gals who have been playing together for a while, i.e., well honed. BiaB is a wonderful product but in our humble opinion it takes a special touch to bring out that "could've heard it in a nice club" feel. Janice said "it gave me happy feet." You have to know her to really get what a compliment that is Now she's telling me about a scene from The Pink Panther where David Niven is dancing with someone...beats my old memory but I'll take her word! We love Tangmo's description, "happiness with sensuality." And your S M O O T H vocal had Janice singing along...immediately. Most enjoyable! J&B

Loren,
A very nice Bossa.
João is exactly in it.
And I feel the influence of Jobim very much on the melody and the chord progression.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Is that really Band In A Box? Hello, there, 'Noel96'... I asked myself the same question as I was putting the set together! Earlier, and in a different thread in which I spoke approvingly of the increasing degree of 'realistic musicianship' present in the Real Tracks, I suggested to another forum member that P.G. Music should rename their product, 'Band (trying-to-break-out-of-a) Box' . So, you really dug that guiro player, eh? I did, too. It's a musical sound that is instantly recognizable as a 'Latin' instrument. Thank you (I mean, really!) for your exuberant response to Whol' Lotta Bossa Goin' On!Hope you enjoyed your second listen! Sincerely, - bluage -

Janice said "it gave me happy feet." You have to know her to really get what a compliment that is Hello, 'Bud' & hello, Ms. Janice! If anyone listens to my music after I've died, I hope that it would inspire him/her to dance to it at the very least, as you imply Ms. Janice may been moved to do . I mean, what is dancing, after all, but music without sound ??? Ms. Janice, 'Bud' said you sang along with the vocalese: "Mm-bod-oop, mm-bod-oop-bomp-ba-da-mm-bod-oop...". Right on, Ms. 'J', that's just your jazzbones talkin' at'cha . Thank both of you for tunin' in an' turnin' on to the moo-sic !!! Greatly grateful, - bluage -

Shigeki Adachi Dear Shigeki... I'm glad to read that the 'bossa nova' resonates with you, too. I think the genre was a literal gift to the people of planet Earth from the 'Muse' . Thank you for giving the track a taste !!! Sincerely, - bluage (a.k.a. Loren) -

Thanks for sharing Howdy, Deryk... Attitude, huh ??? Well, that works just fine with me. I wanted it to be an 'in your face' kind of instrumental, so I guess you just validated it !!! It's awful nice to have PG Music staff members listening and commenting on User's Forum song posts. Most sincerely, - bluage -
