Now, THAT WAS A REAL FIND!!!!

...SPENT THE EVENING DOWNLOADING LOTS OF GREAT MATERIAL...JAMIE'S GREAT PIANO BACKING TRACKS FOR SURE, AS I LOVE TO SING "THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK!!


AND JAMIE'S "EXTENDED CHORD" ACCOMPANYMENT MAKES YOU REALLY LISTEN TO THE CHORDAL STRUCTURES HE USES TO BACK UP THE SOLOIST OR VOCALIST...OR YOU'LL GET "YOUR BUTT LOST IN A NEW YORK MINUTE!!

SO YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP A GOOD MUSICAL EAR, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE ALREADY!!!...OR...YOU'LL GET LOST BETWEEN HIS PROGRESSIONS AND THE SPECIFIC TUNE'S MELODY LINE!!

THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ALBUMS... THE COMPREHENSIVE SELECTION OF MUSIC IS PROBABLY THE MOST EXTENSIVE I'VE EVER FOUND, IN TERMS OF INCLUDING MOST OF "THE CHESTNUTS" FOUND IN THE BEST FAKE BOOKS!

AND, LOT'S OF ADDITIONAL GREAT ARTISTS ARE INCLUDED, ALONG WITH JAMIE'S MULTI-ALBUM PLAYLISTS, LIKE HODRACE SILVER ALBUMS, THE CATS I USED TO SEE PERFORM LIVE YEARS AGO AT THE SOUETHERLAND HOTEL ON CHICAGO'S SOUTH SIDE...AND ALSO MUSICAL GENIUSES LIKE THEOLONIUS MONK, WHO I HAD THE PLEASURE OF LISTENING TO, MANY TIMES.

AND FINALLY, THE ADDITIONAL HARD-NOSED EXAMPLES AND APPROACHES TO PRACTICING IMPORTANT CHANGES, INCLUDING TURN-AROUNDS, ETC., ARE INVALUABLE!!

AS LAWRENCE WELK WOULD SAY...WUNERFULL, WUNERFULL, WUNERFULL!!!
