Welcome to the Black Cat Jazz Cafe Band! This is a virtual jazz cafe and so is the band.
I came from Cuba 28 years ago. Although never formally trained as a musician I played drums and Latin percussion on different bands at different times. Once in the US I only played on a church band, no time to be on the road with a music band, instead I made my living as an engineering tech. Now I'm retired and although I have been dabbing with computer music for awhile now (about eight CD's now on different genres) mainly jazz though, it is now that I have decided to go "public" through this wonderful media and music community.
Not long at all.
Not anymore
Most big bands and straight-ahead jazz musicians.
For midi recording and/or editing I use a MU Xboard 49 (although I'm not a keyboard player, I have to step record all the time for melodies ans such), loops and single shot samples, and different software for editing, mixing, sequencing and things like that. I also use a Ketron SD2 sound module for midi audio out (wonderful and pretty realistic sounds).
My heart felt thanks to PG Music software for making this effort possible.
