Thanks Mac. The soloist tracks seem next to worthless in my opinion. I try to concentrate on the finest artists as models for improvisation and it seems to me that a computer generated solo track pieced together from some studio musician's favorite licks is nowhere near a stellar performance from Sonny Rollins, Charlie Parker, Chet Baker et al. My advice to students would be to ignore the soloist tracks and spend their time paying attention to the great Jazz artists who were able to tell a story when they recorded. Wouldn't it make sense for PG Music to make available sets of only rhythm tracks for discerning customers?
