I do a "one man band" show, where I take a computer rig with me, and I've sequenced up a couple hundred cover songs from various genres of music, everything from Sinatra to Sabbath.

I do all the vocals and guitars live, with everything else handled by the sequencer and virtual instruments.

Statistically, the material where I get the best reaction is jazz standards, and my originals that are written in that old "jazz standard" style.

So while some people seem to like the eclectic mix, the vast majority keep asking for "more Sinatra", etc.

I've been thinking of "steering into that curve" and taking gigs where I do ONLY jazz standards and my similarly arranged originals.


Long story short, after plugging my iPad into my PA and running the iReal Book player, I liked what I was hearing. I think this might be a reasonable replacement for my computer rig on some gigs in the future.

I also was really getting a Tony Bennett vibe from the more ballad-type songs, which I really liked.


I can't wait for per-song bpm support...
