Hi kasparli, I haven't seen it around. The Vocal Big band arrangements in the Sherwood music library (they have collected a lot) are the ones from Jimmy Lally, Ken Macombre, Artie Shaw and Dave Wolpe. I have used that last one myself. I've checked with lushlifemusic which did some transcriptions of Ella's, but there is only the instrumental arrangement by Artie Shaw. What key is it in? This can help to narrow down the arrangements. There are companies who will transcribe arrangements for you, so maybe that's an idea? I think Billy May did the Harlon Arlen songbook with Ella, so it probably is a Nelson Riddle arrangement. Where did you hear the song?

Happy Birthday!

Hi Scooby, thank you so much for this exercise. I have been working on my ear training. I still find it difiiculted to identify chords and progressions. This will help me a lot. Regards, page

Nice! Thank you for posting.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Ok, thanks. Although I didn't teach in college myself, I'm always interested to hear/learn about what forms of education there are abroad. Interesting!

Thanks Jeff. Well, that's equal impressive. I can understand exchanging stories helps to deal with the loss. Like I've said I'd imagine becoming friends with animals that way, it is a feeling you'd never loose or forget. I searched for the college. Am I right when I understand it is a college especially for women?

I'm really sorry to hear about this. I can imagine when you work so close with these animals you grow to be friends. Such a smart beautiful animal! I'm very impressed by the work your wife does, must be thrilling to study and work with animals this way. She and her friend Mike must be very upset. Thank you for posting the video and the lovely pictures.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

re: 6, then it must be Barbara Hendricks, I thought she wouldn't be it, since I have an album of hers. No, it cant be her. I'll look further. re: 10, no, I don't want a hint, let me dig some more. re: 16, the second tenor is Wilton Gaynair, but he wasn't listed for this track, or maybe I misunderstood.

a few more guesses: no. 6 Randye Jones song: Roun’ about the mountain (Roland Hayes) – album Come down angels 2003 Randy Jones – soprano, Francis Conlon –piano beautiful voice, I like the simple accompaniment too. I've sung gospel a few times and have always liked doing so. I've had some classical training in the past which differs from the technique you use for jazz, my coach at the time therefore didn't teach me some classical techniques to prevent I would sound like a classic singer singing jazz instead of a jazz singer. no. 10 Body and Soul (Johnny Green, Edward Heyman, Robert Sour & Frank Eyton ) Louis Stewart – guitar, Mundell Lowe – guitar One of my favourites at your BFT. The artists I'm not sure of, hard to find guitar duets on this one. I didn't find an album (yet), so we'll see. no. 16 Sonnymoon for 2 (Sonny Rollins) – album: Woody Shaw & Edelhagen All Stars - WDR Studio 1, Cologne, May 7, 1965 Woody Shaw – trumpet, Derek Humble – altsax, Karl Drewo – tenorsax, Bora Rokovic – piano, Joe Sydow – bass and Stuff Combe – drums Fun song, really nice. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Still working on the others, have recognized most titles but didn't find all personnel.

I have mixed feelings about the Olympics. I really like the skating and we have a few real impressive sporters who are taking part. This I say, but in the back of my mind is that last year as a member of Amnesty Inc. I was asked to send a personal postcard to the girls of the musicgroup Pussy Riot who were still in custody at that time, I did and wrote something about being a singer/musician myself and that music is always something to hang on to. Maybe that got to me so much, since my music is my way of expressing and I could only imagine it to be exactly that for those girls. That is just one example of things, as you know there are many other, that happen in the world that need our attention. Not on this board, I know, so I'll leave it at that.

Happy Birthday!

A belated Happy Birthday!

Well, like I said at that thread then. pictures are copyrighted as well, so I'd expect that yes. That cover of "sound of silence" is well known, and the owner of the work deserves to be compensated for the use of it. Btw an artist has copyright as soon as a work is created. You do not need to declare or register your work anywhere but it helps when you do so since you can prove a work is yours or was already yours at a certain time. When you'd ask permission first, an artist might be honoured and might give his/her permission without asking for money, f.e. when it is for use of something non-commercial. Back in the old days artists would mail their copyrighted material to themselves so that they'd have them in a time stamped, unopened envelope. Not sure if many still do that, but I found that fact to be pretty fascinating when I first learned of it many moons ago. That is still one way to do it and probably the cheapest one. It is different in different countries. In the U.S. there is the Library of Congress which has the U.S. Copyright Office. We don't have anything like that here. In the U.S. there's also B.M.I. and ASCAP of course. I used to register my work at a tax office which had a department for it. That is closed down now unfortunately, due to cutbacks by the government. Apart from the mailing, there is a depot you can join or you can go to a sollicitor. I think those are all of options in my country at the moment. There is a organization that looks out after the interests of artists here, but I hear they don't do that much and most you'll still have to take care of yourself.

I believe there is no copyright on titles. A few years ago I wrote a poem which later became a song since a musican I know wrote music to it. One day I decided to look for my title on the net and I saw the exact same title as mine which was written some time before I had written mine. I didn't know that, I had come up with the title myself and I had already registered my work and the song with lyrics and melody. After some research I found out that lyrics are protected, like a poem is. Music as well, not the changes or the progression of the chords but the melody itself. A title is only seen as copyrighted when it is some sort of trademark, I can't recall the exact description right now. So I was relieved I didn't violated any laws and I needn't had to change my title.

Happy Birhtday, Thom!

I saw Eric Boeren perform quite a few times, but not with this band. His bands all are different. I have played with one of his drummers, a young talented guy. Eric has an eye for talent as well. I never expected him to end up in a BFT though, so I didn't even think of him but it seems he's making a name for himself abroad. That's good.

I do not want more hints, I like the searching and 'eureka' feeling when I finally discover the answer. It will be a challenge then for me to discover the artist of no 4 since I'll have to recognize him/her by the style instead of comparing recordings. Nothing's impossible though.

You are giving a bit of direction, not really obvious. Most titles of the standards I heard while listening myself, in some cases it gives you an idea how to start looking. I thought of Joe Pass too on no. 4, but it is "In a sentimental mood", not "The very thought of you". Haven't been able to find this particular recording yet though if it is him. There are a bunch of jewels on your BFT, f.e I love the quiet guitar renditions on your BFT. Those are really lovely!

no. 5 Dave Young - song: One Finger Snap (composer Herbie Hancock) – album: Two by Two vol 2 , piano-bass duets Dave Young – bass Kenny Baron - piano - 1996 label:Justin Time I really like what this Dave Young did, seems a really nice album. Recognized a few others so far, but didn't find the artists yet. btw you gave us some clues, I hope that was intentional
