    Here's a retro swing style take on one of the most iconic songs (with probably the most iconic music video) of the '80s: "Take On Me" by Norwegian synth-pop band A-Ha. Perfect for a good ol' fashioned swing dance pipe wrench fight...

    Let's see... I've heard the original version, the orchestra version, the circus organ version, the 8-bit version, the Sheet Music Boss version, and I think a remix so far... who knew the jazz version would surpass them all?
    Hats off to you, Mister Bradley. 😁🎩

      Have you heard "Lesson One?" It's an early demo of Take On Me that proves *exactly* why producers are needed in the music industry. It is *hilarious* the bad choices they originally made lol

    I love that lively passionate melody that's influential to me as a musician plus you bestow such an amazing bass line that gives a nice rush, and the way you sound those trills is intoxicating!
    It'd be truly divine if you and pianist Kristen Mosca collaborated on a piece together!

    Grat skill and cover. With all respect and no fault intent i would ask why so many piccicato notes? I would say 80%. It somehow breaks a flow of tune. Other 20% of longer notes sound more in tune and in flow with this song energy. Does this make any sence?
