4) While Donny 'ad-libbed' a Bolero style song, it sounded authentic enough to me...
5) DonM, Colin, and Gary performed songs that I would not think of if someone asked me to play a Bolero - and they all seemed to work ...
6) Fran played 'Besame Mucho' ("Be same" in his words wink ) which IS a song I would think of if asked for a Bolero ...

I guess this all shows the versatility of arrangers and their players ...

BTW - IMHO, from what I could hear, I preferred the Pa900 and SD7 styles to the others ... I enjoyed the sax sound on the SD7, which is an area I think the Pa900falls short except for the 'Soft Latin Sax' voice, but I was not thrilled with the brass sound ...

But then, what do I know ?!?


Tony I agree with some of what you said, ........although some of the KORG Saxes IMO do lack something you can go into sound editor and do some amazing things if one knows how to get the sound you like to a degree,....Korg arrangers are not OOTB units but they give the player the freedom to really get in there and make it their own for sure as it should be ..



And I totally agree with you ...
