@MattFinley: I hear you! And feel your pain, smile

Especially in midtempo or ballads, the Jarrett-Trane-Evans feel offers great soloing opportunity. But sometimes the band keeps on swinging those changes and it sets your music 50 yrs back.

Biab offered some modern jazz and Jarrett styles, but these are very "free". We need Bill Evans and LaFaro, Fred Hersch, McCoy, Laverne. McCoy Tyner's debut has Satin Doll on it where he already plays in this straight feel and that still sounds modern.


Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
