I just purchased 'disk' #46, the Latin Fake Book. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I spot checked about 12 songs I know very well, and Bob has done a great job here. All the songs had the right 'feel', no easy task as I have transcribed many of these songs. This particular fakebook and downloaded fakedisk would have been tremendously helpful to me earlier in my career. Even now, I'm looking forward to hearing some of the songs in this huge collection that I don't know, by reading the printed Hal Leonard fakebook while hearing Bob's BIAB versions.

Since I specialize in Brazilian jazz, I know many of these songs better by recordings of jazz performers doing their own version. Bob has done here the more authentic versions that sound like the original artist performances. Of course, with BIAB, you can always make changes easily and play them however you like. If you haven't used Bob's songs before, they use MIDI rather then RealTracks, but you can always try substituting.

Bravo, Bob 'Notes'. Excellent work as always. We users, and PG Music, are fortunate to have someone as dedicated and talented as you producing aftermarket products to enhance BIAB.
