Although I loved Tony's wonderful rendition of
"All The Things You Are", for me personally it's not one of my favorite "American Song Book" tunes,....
I guess as a singer who backs himself up with a mix many of means Live play, Arranger Kb, SMF, Mp3, etc, we all have our preferences. I try to sing songs I feel I can do well on stage using ALL tools at my disposal. Sometimes Live with styles, and there are songs that need more parts that cannot be achieved with repetitious styles alone, to get the arrangement I want to sing to. That can only be addressed by using my Arranger Kb & custom playing & recording different parts, instruments, etc, infused via multitracks & PC programs like Mixcraft into a SMF to create the desired arrangement I'd be happy with. smile
Here is one of my favorite standards "EMBRACEABLE YOU"...hope you enjoy. headphone

Embraceable You

Gary please read my process above, no style will suffice,....
it started as a simple SMF, which I deleted a few tracks & then I recorded on top of that 4 or 5 tracks using a Tyros 2 at that time to get the arrangement exactly as I wanted it. cool2

OK, now I reread what you said above. I didn't recognize the style, that's why I asked.

Donny ... I have to add that your recordings always sound so 'crisp', and professionally done ...
I really enjoy listening to you"Straight From The Heart" CD ... thank you ...

Donny,

I'm a newbie with regards arrangers and this is the first time I have listened to one of your recordings. I love all the American Songbook standards and your rendition of All The Things You Are, was perfect to my ears.

I will never be able to sing as good as you. You are a true crooner smile

I look forward to hearing more of the same.

Ian
