I'd love to see them hiring some European guys for more/real European music!
I fully agree with that. BIAB is very North America-centric, though I guess that's fairly understandable given that PGM are a company on the North American continent. As a Brit I virtually do not use Country, virtually do not use Pop, am more likely to use Blues in a jazz context than in a Blues context, and personally much more likely to use African styles than American styles. In PGM's context, we're in small minorities.

I notice that difference particularly when people write in the fora about some famous musician passing and I think "who's he?".
Even many regulars say there's "too much Brent Mason" and I'm afraid I have a similar reaction ... who? I expect some will gasp that I don't know, but that, for me, is the disconnect between us.

Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.
