Here's me playing "In The Mood" then "Moonlight Serenade", which I usually do as a continuous medley.
My videos are all available as HD (720p) if you click the YouTube controls).

(I realized afterward that the camera angle I chose was not great since my R arm sometimes blocked out the view of my L hand! I have 'corrected' this by using a different angle in some other videos I recorded yesterday.)

Here I have them as 2 separate videos:

I really like Moonlight Serenade. The clarinet is very convincing, nice "supernatural" feature with the glissando, and well played to activate it. All the saxophone sounds and solo trumpet sound very good, too. I guess I would slightly prefer that trumpet to the Integra SN-A trumpet.

Very nice Jim. I do have a Yamaha style that is great for In The Mood. Send me a PM if you'd like it.

Regarding this Audya demo of In the Mood, it has the most original sounds I have heard so far, it is the most accurate cover with all the solos and the end sequence available on Youtube, and it excels in relation to ALL Tyros versions I have heard on Youtube - and I listened to many, some quite poor ones with an absurdly astronomic number of views and likes...
Jim should definitely not feel discouraged by this outstanding Audya demo (I'm not sure whether posting it was in order to motivate or demotivate him.)

I agree on the Audya version simply great!!
I enjoyed Jim's "Moonlight Serenade" but his "In The Mood" version IMO lacked sound accuracy & timing for such a complicated song played on an arranger keyboard using the two Kb method as such.
many of teh demos on your tube use a SMF also which lets the player flourish to concentrate on lead sounds also nothing wring with that.

Yes, that's the one I find NOT remarkable at all. The number of likes and views is incredible for this average cover, I don't get it. He also uses a Yamaha midi file which is poor in itself, with very simplified solos.

Yes...It was just a good example nothing spectacular but not bad either....this song arrangement has so many different sound components within its arrangement and to play it in one shot is very difficult......
