Aaahhh . . . . Satchmo was SO TRUTHFUL!  This is as close I can come in  remembering him.  The BIAB .sty (Crooner) was enhanced with a Django Rheinhart style guitar solo.  Wonderful, wonderful!!

Can you imagine the joy I experienced when I merged a Bluegrass fiddle solo onto a latin standard like "Besame Mucho"!  Wow!

One of Pete Fountains favorites . . . "Rose Room"!

Rose Room

A fine example of a Band In A Box style replicating a great rhythm section with the drummer just keeping GOOD time without too many fills!  Louis Armstrong did this with his band years ago.  Steely Dan does it today, you'll notice his drummer plays very few fills; and the ones he uses are sssoooo small and tasty!
