Re: [Harp-L] backing tracks

["Michael Polesky, MPA" <m.polesky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris and all the "L",

I use a lot of Jamey Aebersold, which I find more appealing than Band in the 
Box, but, between the two sources I have more material than I can possibly 
ever sample.  I use Band in the Box for anything I don't have an Aebersold 
track for and anything I am composing.  I prefer to use the Jamey Aebersold 
for practice because the aesthetic quality is so much higher, but when I 
need to learn a tune I don't have on that medium and, again to test out new 
compositions, I use Band in the Box all the time.  Ask David Fairweather 
about the latest version of Band in the Box.  He loves it as it tries to 
overcome the stiff sound characteristic of earlier versions.

Michael
