Studio musicians on these recordings

Someone once asked:

Are the artists on these recordings, studio musicians?

And the answer is, ABSOLUTELY YES !

They are playing the same song charts provided here, for C, Bb, Eb and Bass instruments.

We will be performing with these studio musicians!

The drummer uses a progressive jazz style, complimented and supported strongly by Acoustic String Bass player; and they make a very nice sounding combination. The piano player does not overly embellish the song chords and seems instinctively to know when to add a little.

You should find these artists to be very easy to play in a band, with. They make melodic lines easy to create, based on their rhythm.

You are encouraged to use this resource for learning and mastering these song arrangements, knowing you will have what you need to join me and the rest of the band on stage in performance bringing these LIVELY songs to the public.
