I'm looking for some real bombastic traditional jazz tracks. Think Tony Williams, Ron Carter, and Herbie Hancock going at it with ferocity. Everything I have is just too tame. Can anyone point me at a Jazz RealPAK that might fit my needs?

Welcome to the forums smile

I'm not very familiar with this Style of music offhand - BUT what could be helpful, is in the top right hand corner of the StylePicker there's a feature you can type in a popular song title or music artist, and it will give suggestions on Styles to use based on said song/artist. For example, I typed in 'Herbie Hancock' and then chose Chameleon and it gave me some Styles as suggestions based on time sig, feel, genre, etc of that song. This might help narrow down your search. smile

Or maybe if you link some Youtube videos with more concise examples, users here could better assist. The Style library is sitting at a few thousand now so it might be tricky though.

Do you mean to tell me that you've never listened to Miles Davis Four+More??! Hancock, Carter, and Williams were all pissed off at Miles because they didn't find out until they got there that it was a charity gig and they weren't getting paid. You can hear it in their playing.

Not quite the style I'd likely get into - aggrieved, uncharitable jazz?
Perhaps is was a plan.

Trying to figure out what you're really looking for. None of those players indulge in a style that meets my definition of the word.

Per Merriam Webster:

Bombastic
marked by or given to speech or writing that is given exaggerated importance by artificial or empty means : marked by or given to bombast : pompous, overblown.

PERHAPS there are more definitions than meet the search engine's top 2...
According to THE FREE DICTIONARY
"bombastic
Also found in: Thesaurus, Wikipedia.
bom·bast (bŏm′băst′)
n.
1. Grandiloquent, pompous speech or writing.
2. Grandiose or overpowering expression, as in music or painting.
[Alteration of obsolete bombace, cotton padding, from Old French, from Medieval Latin bombax, bombac-, cotton; see bombazine.]
bom′bast′er n.
bom·bas′tic adj.
bom·bas′ti·cal·ly adv.

I wouldn't use the word in the way it was used by the O.P. but it does have precedence. For me it will always be an insult BUT for a bunch of angry jazzers who have to play without pay, probably Republicans, it may also fit.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
