As an experiment, I tried to use standard T2 styles to play a straight ahead jazz standard using a jazz combo instrumentation of piano, bass, drums, and guitar with appropriate groove, fills, and a variety of comps, different from the head, to avoid a repetitive boring background for soloing.

For this experiment I used Benny Golson�s song Killer Joe. You can listen to my effort at:

I don�t consider this a performance but more of a sketchpad of an experiment. I did it in real-time, one take, into the recorder of the T2.

For the intro I used variation D of Fast Jazz, starting with its fill for the drum intro and then leading to the comp. For the bridge I used variation A. For soloing I didn�t like the comping of variation B or variation C of Fast Jazz so I used variation B of Modern Jazz which uses brushes on the drums, and variation C which uses sticks, and variation D which has a guitar comp on every beat. For the trading 4s with the drums I used Bebop variation D which I revoiced the piano comp to jazz guitar to match the other styles used. For the ending I was back to Fast Jazz variation D with lots of drum breaks and then a quick switch to variation C to change up the drums before closing out with Ending I.

I saved the Fast Jazz, Modern Jazz, and Bebop styles in single registration bank using just three buttons and used the variation buttons to make the switches within each style.

I think if I work on this a little more I could have a couple of useable registration banks that I could use for a variety of different songs.
