BBB just by its name may be geared more to what you want to do. I grew up with Stan Kenton records and my father would crank it up, I wouldn't go for mellow particularly.

Well, I'm sure it is geared more towards what I want to do but then there's that price.

:sigh:

I know. Bought VSL (Over $3,000) on Jan's say so. Don't regret it a bit. But VSL is also ALL over the Internet. This guy, not so much.

Stan Kenton always had the best players and great charts...

Frank Rosolino,Bill Holman and so many other legends...

I've played a few of those charts and the're beautiful arrangements...

When the band gets those ones right,it's like floating on a cloud

Yep, all through the years these killer charts. These great fat trombones and the bass trombone, lush and golden.

I actually prefer the "softer" albums from Stan's band...

"Portraits on Standards" and "Sketches on Standards" especially...

That lush lower brass...wow...like heaven !

As you have alluded to in your posts here,a lot of the deal with getting the sampled sounds to sit right is in the arrangement...

With the right arrangement,it all starts to make a little sense...

With most fine things,it all starts with the preparation
