I’ve been playing around with the new live sample tracks in Band-in-a-Box and thought I try another recording of this classic jazz tune. “Softly…” was written in the 1920′s by Sigmund Romberg and Oscar Hammerstein II for the musical “New Moon”. It has been recorded in a number of styles throughout the years, including bebop. My version is sort of bebopish. This is one of my all-time fav jazz tunes to play.

My latest tune is a fast jazz in 3/4 called “Warm Luke”, named after a friend’s dad who left this life this past week. This is a short draft, the guitar parts are just two takes each. Hope to have a more evolved version soon.
