RealTracks Set 28 - Jazz Waltz:

Would a list of your favorite things include skating in Central Park on a cool winter day? How about jamming with a swingin' piano or guitar trio on a summertime evening until the sun rises? Have you ever heard an acoustic bass with the kind of tone that made you want to tenderly waltz the night away under a star-filled sky? Whatever a waltz lacks in beats-to-the-bar RealTracks Set 28 makes up for with a rhythm sweeter than a summer breeze. This Set redefines what it means to swing in ¾ time with this collection of Acoustic Bass, Piano, and Electric Guitar RealTracks!

_JWLZ_BG This demo features Electric Guitar Comping & Acoustic Bass Jazz Waltz RealTracks. Both instruments are playing 'A' substyles off the top, and switch to 'B' 41 seconds into the song. For the Bass, that means that the groove changes from mostly just playing on the 1 (with occasional embellishments) to a straight ahead walking line. For the guitar, the change is more subtle, but you can feel the energy boost as the 'B' section starts to swing!

high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt28/_JWLZ_BG_160k.wma

_JWLZ_BP This demo also features the Acoustic Bass Jazz Waltz style, but now the comping instrument has changed to piano, giving it a completely new dynamic. Like the bass and guitar, these piano RealTracks have an 'A' and a 'B' substyle, so your song can have the dynamic shifts that it needs.

RealTracks Set 29 - Freddie and Wes - Jazz Guitar Comping:

The drummer has been holding a steady groove with the bass player all night, swinging harder with each passing hour. The joint is jumping, the dance floor is full and the piano player has more sparkle in his solos than a diamond mine. But something is missing... This cat has six strings, nine lives, ten fingers and some of the sweetest comping this side of bebop. Whether you like the four-on-the-floor beat that'll keep the dance floor full all night or the sweet intoxication of a tasteful groove - RealTracks Set 29 can't fail to disappoint.


_JAZZWES_ Like all of the Guitar RealTracks styles in Set 29, the 'Wescomp' style is designed to work well with piano comping. This particular part has a cool syncopated groove that gives it a sophisticated edge. At 'B', the playing becomes more aggressive, and really digs in!

high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt29/_JAZZWES_160k.wma



_BALFRED This demo features the ballad version of the 'Freddie' Guitar RealTracks style. This guitar part locks in with the drums, providing a solid foundation, over which the Piano RealTracks can comp in ever-changes rhythmic patterns.
high quality wma: http://64.40.109.185/pgmusic/audio/rt29/_BALFRED_160k.wma


_JAZFRED This is the faster swing version of the 'Freddie' Guitar Comping RealTracks. The drums, bass and guitar provide the solid swinging groove, while the piano comps rhythmically. This is a killer rhythm section to solo or sing over!

We need some more Rock guitar Real audio tracks. Like the distortion syncopated 102 from the RB 2008. Enough with the Stones and Mark Knopfler

Hi,

Can I just check out a dispute about the BIAB 2009 Megapack. My supplier said on their website description of contents:

"...and The Band-in-a-Box Video Tutorial PAK CD-ROM" but this was not in my package. I see that the PG website comparison indicates that this is NOT included in the megapack. Was it included with earlier versions (are they confused by a change) or was this description just plain wrong? The Tutorial PAK was what really made my decision to buy it rather than the basic package.

Help appreciated.
Thanks

Another questions please. When I click on any of the demos you list, I get the error message:

"Windows Media Player cannot connect to the server. The server name might not be correct, the server might not be available, or your proxy settings might not be correct." I can connect to anything else - what is your link asking for that's unusual, so I can clear it with my firewall?

Thanks

Hello Digihound,

They are streaming files. If you can't play any streaming content, try going to Options - Tools - Network in Windows Media Player, then select HTTP Browser in the Streaming Proxy Settings area, and click Configure. Select Use Proxy Settings of Web Browser.

If that's already selected, perhaps see if it works with a different web browser. If not, it may be your security software (anti-virus/firewall). You could disable the software to test if that's the problem, and if it is you could then look for a specific setting in the software.

The Video Tutorial Pak was included in the MegaPak in provious years, so your supplier may have been confused by a change in content. If you let us know the dealer, we can notify them of the change. The Video Pak is available for purchase for $29 Follow this link for more information. http://www.pgmusic.com/videos.htm
