Most excellent Trev! The brass sounds real and the vocal is as good as any Big band singers I've heard. I hope you get your shot at the film with this...it's good!

Thanks for all your really positive comments and as a few of you have asked how I did it - here goes... first of all I'd love to say that I just played all of the brass instruments but I think we all know that that didn't happen :)

The brass sound itself is not a synth but real brass samples - so I started off with a couple of brass samples and then made the intro adding bass and drums etc, The verses are all me playing piano, strings, bass guitar (A line 6 bass guitar on the acoustic bass setting) and vocals. It took a bit of tweaking to make everything sit together and the only other samples on the track are the sax solo and  a string swirl in a couple of places which is an orchestra sample. All of the other strings are just played in from a keyboard. It was strange not putting any guitars on (except bass) and even stranger trying to sound like a rat pack type of person. The brief for the track was to reflect the highlife and glamour of the jet set in the golden age of the Sinatra type movies. Its great having somewhere to post things like this as otherwise (unless the film company go for it) it would probably never have got played again.

thanks again everybody - hope this answered your questions :)
