Fratto Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 With all this talk of big band and arranging, I thought I'd put a few up. I'm just running the Finale through GJBB and then putting a lame generated drum and bass under it. Generated piano just never sounded good. I can post Finale project files if anyone wants. ---- Black Coffee This is an arrangement of an old Sonny Burke song called Black Coffee. There's a solo section in there for a couple solos (or one good one) from about 1:45 to 3:20. The last few bars are a supposed to be a big drum fill. ---- Ruby, My Dear This is a Thelonious Monk chart for big band. Written bass solo in the beginning. There's an improv piano solo at 1:40. The dynamics didn't really come through in the rendering, which is a shame. The bass bone/bari sax ending came out pretty harsh without the dynmics, but it sounds great with a real band playing mezzo piano. ---- Team Hurricane Loves You I wrote a 30 second closer for some friends who had a podcast of the same name. It was foul mouthed and quirky, so I made the jingle to fit that as best I could. The chord progression is asinine and the melody was largely chromatic, but somehow it worked. So, I tried to make it into a full length chart. I'm not quite done. Needs some background in the solo section and I'm not convinced of all the voicings yet, but the general idea is there.

Xenon Odyssey Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Right click, save as is giving me a 2.4 KB file, and clicking on the link gets me stuck in a '?attredirects=0' loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratto Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 That's weird. I just did right and left clicks and it worked for me. Maybe I'll just set up an account at a new file host. EDIT: Alright, I uploaded it to MediaFire. Hopefully this works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratto Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Media Fire seems to be working. I've uploaded another as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damashii!! Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Is the "Ruby my dear" track still broken? I've tried to download and listen to it but it's having a seizure and Mediafire is giving me a bunch of unnecessary popups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratto Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 I just downloaded it. Didn't get any popups, but it downloaded essentially nothing. Let me re-upload it. Alright. Should be fixed. For some reason it had only uploaded about 4KB of the file. Now it's good. Also, another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
