"Oh, wow. This changes everything." "I just re-did a bossa I wrote with the Set 16 Real Piano and Real Bass, along with Terry Clarke Real Drums. I thought I was listening to a Jamey Abersold track." "Just spent a few hours with new RealTracks -- I'm overwhelmed!" "The quality of new tracks is excellent!" "Love the new piano comping, nice voicings! Guitar is very tasteful as well." "All the ballad soloists seem great so far; I haven't even heard the Bossa stuff yet." "Congrats to PG Music - job very well done!" "This is a great gift to jazz musicians, educators, and singers. Thanks!" "These new Jazz Real Tracks are the bomb and it's not even Christmas yet!" "This is so much fun, I've done a lot of work on several tunes and now I have a whole new palette of stuff to go back and revisit them with." "Unbelievable." "I just finished loading in all the new RT's, opened up Body and Soul and used the new style Night Jazz Ballad Quartet. This is so good, so awesome I hardly know what to say. The piano comps are so good, I can fire myself but I will take notes and the sax soloists... just incredible." "The idea that this is coming out of my computer and the fact that we can change keys and tempos with this and use it for all the jazz standards is....just...well, I'm speechless is all I can say." "Oh, wow. This stuff is really fabulous."
