Paul,

The longer sophisticated intros, endings work perfect for me as I need time to pick up and get ready to change to play my sax with some sequenced tunes. So, the complex styles and such for the Jazz stuff I play is suited well with my style. I can't stand the simple repetitious stuff other than to do some old time Rock and Roll, Country etc.

Nothing takes the place of real musicians. I like Piano Bass and Drums. That is essential in Jazz. A Trombone or Trumpet for Jazz or another Sax if you're going to do the R&R stuff is preferable in that order.

A good Jazz Guitarist is also good with a rhythm section. I'm not to crazy about the string bending and wah wah peddle guys. A little of that goes a long way with me. I prefer Guitarist who can do more then bend strings.

Everyone has different needs. I can't stand to think of someone talking another into a keyboard that is suited to do the popular stuff and the person wants to do Jazz, Swing or Big Band. Some of the Swing and Big Band styles on some popular keyboards are a joke.
I mean they are very amaturish.

I wish we could get arranger keyboards with nothing on them with thousands of styles on a disk that we could choose and load ourselves.

That's what I wish,
Boo
