Hi all,
I usually just use he straight Bebop and Swing type real tracks. I've been learning the Wes Montgomery tune OGD (Road Song). Has anyone found real tracks similar to the groove on the Wes - Jimmy Smith recording?

This kind of stuff is called jazz boogaloo, sort of a old school funky latin feel. There isn't a style that I'm aware of for this but it's a good suggestion. The thing about RT styles is they're not fixed like the midi styles are. With midi the style elements are actually created by the author or user so you could create this in midi perfectly. Of course then you lose the sound quality of the RT's. But midi can sound really good with a high quality synth to play them.
RT styles are really not styles at all. Since RT's are prerecorded audio tracks you can't change anything but there are so many of them now that I think it's possible to put some together to get close to this. Or, maybe a midi/RT hybrid style.

I play Road Song using BIAB as a backing track.
Currently I use _BOSORGS (Bossa Organ Soloist with band)
I mute the Organ solo & dial back both the b3 and the guitar.
Perhaps not perfect but its a decent groove.
If you dig Wes,check out Grant Green's "The Latin Bit". Its a killer.
His version of My Little Suede Shoes knocks me out.
Good luck.

Hi,
I came to this discussion rather late...
I've been using the -ZAWINUL.STY which I rather like.
What do you all think?

Back in my day the only time we started panic buying was when the bartender shouted "last call"!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Yes, it's in the 'Misc.' set, it's MIDI from November 2006. Spelling is correct.

Hi,
Not sure what set it's in.
I'm on annual leave at the moment so can't access BIAB
I recall that it's actually a mix of MIDI and RT.
I've been using it for a long time so... older

My last reply hasn't appeared...
Currently away from my BIAB... I've been using this style for ages so it probably isn't a Real Style.

I spent a fair bit of time searching and trying lots of styles to try to help. It would be great if the O/P's solution was shared.

Here is what I found. This works enough to play against, though not ideal by any means.
Bass: Electric Pop Sw 120
Organ Rythum B3 Rhythm Jazz SW 140
Drums: Bossa/Brushes full
Guitar: Electric, rhythm Bossa EV 140
Thanks all of you for your ideas!
