Thanks for the replies. I guess my question has more to do with the arranging of the charts for playing piano and singing @ the same time...even listening to some of the biab styles the piano is not playing on every half note although the changes are 2 to the bar. The player seems to know when to play and when not to...I guess it is just practice...I know what you mean about the practice...I've got a few charts that I can play or I can sing but not both...And I'm wanting to work up the charts to do a single.( using some biab bass lines and maybe some horns/strings or something) I thought maybe there is an option of doing more sparse comping while singing and there were some rules as far as what I could leave out and what must be included in the changes in order to be hip:)
