We Say

The combination of this, along with its sister volume Jazz: Solo Instruments, will prove irresistible to anyone with an ear for jazz, whether you’re a pro looking to flesh out some arrangements or a student looking for some hands-on examples with which to learn about the complex world of jazz composition.

From chord progressions, to solos, to feels, to licks, parts include walking basslines, brush drum patterns, drum solos, breakneck acoustic piano solos, silky smooth jazz electric piano grooves, and more. Parts are categorized by type and tempo and also by mode or sensibility - ie Dorian mode, major, minor etc., making this volume an excellent jazz tutor from both a playing and study perspective.

Stylistically, the collection spans classic "modern jazz" to radio-friendly smooth jazz; from safe and groovy, to invigoratingly "outside."

SMF Type 1 file format. Guaranteed to work with all DAWs and hardware sequencers that can load/import .MIDs: Cubase (all versions, including LE and Sequel), GarageBand, Pro Tools, Logic, Acid, Reason, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Live, and Cakewalk (all version), and with all VSTs or synth sound sources.

They Say

It's heartbreaking, iust by loading some of the patterns from Jazz - Piano, Bass & Drums I've given my sequencer more feel and jazz groove that I could ever hope to achieve in a lifetime's practice" Music Mart

"This is a worthy addition to what I think is the best series of MIDI Files in the world" Music Mart

"With such an immaculately performed and logically put together collection, anyone looking for a touch of jazz inspiration can't possibly loose" Sound On Sound
