A wonderful composition Tony, and very well arranged. I've been following Jim Martins Big Band / Small Band online series for many years, and last christmas I got your 'Winters Never Cold' and 'A Swingin' Christmas Time' to my big band for our annualy christmas consert. They are both excellent! Stay well through corona and best wishes from Norway.

[@TonyGuerrero]

Håvard Furulund Thank you for the note! I would love to see/hear any performances of your band doing my songs!

[@TonyGuerrero]

The musicians are real, not samples. I WISH I had samples that good!

[@ChristopherSiu]

@aston a křišťálový vodopád 432Hz Pretty damn good ;)

[@TonyGuerrero]

@Supersonicat Just saw this a year late. These ARE all real players, 100%. However, this was recorded on a budget just to demo the song. So, for example, it's the same sax player on all sax parts. This means his phrasing across the section will be pretty identical to the other parts. And it was all recorded on one mic in a small space, not multiple mics in a live room. I've produced plenty of full big band sections in great studios, including Capitol, East/West and A&M, three great L.A. big band rooms. I definitely know the difference. However, as I said, this was done just to demo the song/arrangement on the cheap. Not for a big band album, etc. But - no samples used except the piano.

How about Apple's Logic Pro X Studio Horns?

[@TylerRayJohnson]

Man, that trumpet section is TIGHT! I thought these were samples but damn, where'd you find these cats?

[@intervalkid]

I wish I had players!

[@BrotherHo98]

so cool

[@TeleStrat335]

I’d like to know how to combine audio with my Finale scores. Do you export XML files? What other software do you use?

[@lokh6544]

Brilliant piece! But as mentioned before on the comments, being in concert pitch for the transposing instruments seems a bit challenging for many players..

[@COSMIC_GRS]

Hello, I am a person who loves this music very much. I make a playlist of this song, listen to it in my sleep, draw pictures, and listen to it more than 80 times every day. It's already been five years since I came in with this song, but I'm finally leaving a comment. I live in South Korea and major in design. Through this song, I was able to be happy and gain strength every day. I write comments using a translator, so I would appreciate your understanding as the context may be strange.

[@COSMIC_GRS]

And I'm still listening

[@lucasrogan3426]

I love this comment

[@perryfriedman9099]

This is great! Very helpful to me for learning how to arrange for big band. I'm taking a class in it now, and it's hard to understand how the different sections sound and function together. The moving cursor, especially, assists in following the score efficiently. Thank you!!

Who the hell wrote bari sax in bass clef?

How have I only just discovered this? Added straight to my favourites, reminded me of how much I love big band music!

[@hjiuhfhrehui]

Very nicely done! Thx for uploading the score. Love to read along

[@orkiestrawojskowawkrakowie7115]

Very pleasant tune with the best Basie's style arrangement! Thank You for that piece.

[@sebastiansprotte2551]

Great job, chapeau to the arranger! Sounds extremely like an original Nestico arrangement to me :p

[@loganfeecemusic]

good work, this is really awesome

[@johnbirkby2913]

Hi, I recently bought this for my band here in the UK. Could you tell me the copyright date please? Thanks JB

[@TonyGuerrero]

@2014 Terminally Hip Music (ASCAP) If you’re going to record it, I would love to hear it!

[@johnbirkby2913]

@@TonyGuerrero ah we are an amateur band. My lead Tbn player has not forgiven me for that top 'C' in your super piece. Thanks for the ©️ date. We'll be playing it in a pub at the end of this month.

[@johnbirkby2913]

We are also going to perform "I only Need To See You Smile"...@@TonyGuerrero

Very well, nice job. Congrats

Very inspiring

[@gesielge5552]

bonito arranjo, parabéns.

[@skyscrapercentral2561]

How come when I play the first alto part on my sax the notes don’t even sound close to how it sounds in the video?

[@TonyGuerrero]

This is a concert score so the alto notes aren’t transposed as you read it...

What sound bank/libraries do you use for sibelius?

[@sarcasticommentator]

I'm curious too, because they sound extremely realistic!!

[@yazzer4963]

I think this is real footage recorded over the score playing in musescore.
