Most of the time I use BB to practice jazz and have been selecting the Classic RealStyles to find a suitable rhythm section. I have just installed 2011 and I am disappointed to find there are no subheadings in the list of Classic RealStyles. There used to be a 'jazz' sub heading. It is time consuming to sort through all the RealStyles to find the one jazz style that you want.

Am I missing some new trick to find the Classic RealStyle I want?

Another thought on jazz styles. It always seemed to me that there are many more combinations of rhythm section in the full list of jazz styles than was indicated in the Classic RealStyles list. However, to use them, one had to kill off the soloist. Again, this seems an unnecessary step if you only ever want a rhythm section for the file. Frankly, good as they are, I do not have a great deal of use for the soloists most of the time. Does anybody have any thoughts? Again I could missing something, there being so many different ways of achieving what you want to do with BB.
