If you can't "sound like the record",,,people think you are not very good...Sound like the record,,,and you are the "best they ever heard".....If you use No sequences , you will not get the top jobs[clubs]..If you use arrangers properly, you have a shot...If you rely exclusively playing left hand bass and comping with the right hand...you better be in an easy going venue, because you can't hold the job like we did 20 years ago..

We have the technology...use it..MP3's sequences or arrangers..
