funny, I just bumped into Norton's site. I was looking for a Latin Jazz midi fakebook which I hoped would also include additional styles to what is provided with BIAB. I'm totally ok if they are just midi btw. I found a Latin fakebook but at the end backed out because it relied on pre-existing BIAB user styles i.e. a tune came with a recommendation of what style to use. I was not convinced that those recommendations would be true to the nature of the reference tune being cited. It seems that at best I can get an understanding of typical progressions used. My intent is not to use the fakebook to learn material for a gig but rather to study typical progressions for the purposes integrating them into my compositions. Not having the melodies tho is unfortunate since that's an important angle to study obviously.

I guess in a nutshell , I think I was looking for the Jamey Aebersold on midi and in a format that would readily integrate into BIAB i.e. most useful would be BIAB format. Tunes should be accompanied by a style file that truly reflects the underlying bass/comp/groove that's supporting the tune.

If anything like this exists please let me know.

thanks
