It seems that "The Nearness of You" has been the overwhelming choice for our #1 eJam anthem. So, I've succumbed and recorded my own version. My only real complaint this time is the length. Maybe I should have done a Donny and put a little more swing tempo into it, but the song just begged for a slower approach. I hope you enjoy it.

The Nearness of You - cp

I used a Big Band Slow style with Orch Strings on the left hand. I stayed with the Piano Grand X and a slight peppering of Elec Piano I on the right hand.

I would like to add that I too have benefitted much from this first eJam. I have become reacquainted with my G70 and my recorder. I have become more comfortable with choosing and using styles. I have learned how to better merge tracks and add reverb. The interaction with all of the participants has been great and has really gotten my creative juices flowing again.
