Hey, just found this thread and yeah this is an awesome idea! If you guys are looking for arrangement ideas, I think it would be awesome to hear a big band/jazz version of Casino Night from Sonic 2. It's practically begging for it. This was an arrangement I was considering undertaking myself and recruiting for, but I don't really have the time right now, and if there is now a OCR big band group forming anyway...

The song would require a Frank Sinatra style crooner to be able to belt out some awesome vocals. I don't want to volunteer anyone, but this is definitely something Jesse Deacon (Xarnax42) could handle. Just listen to Calum's FF6 song ("Blackjack's Breakup Bossa") he sang on for zircon's FF6 album contest and you'll understand You'd also need some gratuitous sax and trumpet solos (for sure).

I'd be willing to help write an arrangement if anyone were interested. I can play/sequence piano too, but it looks like you guys already have that covered.

Alright, I went ahead and threw down a little groove. There's no editing at all and this is a single take.

D'awww, thanks. I would love to help out however I can. I've got a couple months left on deployment, but after that, I'm planning on investing in some better recording equipment and should have pretty good availability.

I'd link to the track Matt mentioned, but tindeck is inexplicably blocked on this network, but it's under the account zirconmusic, FF6 Contest Track 3 (Blackjack).

i don't know what the rules are on sharing the ff6 project songs - but for a pretty long period of time this was publicly available so i suppose its fine. Jesse worked his arse off and his vox were top notch!

Yes, for all of you interested we are looking for a female and male vocalist. You would not be recording as much as the instrumentalists but would still have a spot on the crew. Send inyour demos!

I look forward to seeing some arrangements come in! I think it'll be a ton of fun to play, and it should be neat playing beside a good Sir.

I did a Casino Night Zone big band arrangement a few years ago. It was a simple arrangement that I left a huge solo section for.
