Hello Ian,

Yes, it is a Biab-generated 'solo', and I think your diagnosis is a remarkable vindication of Biab's musicality - what you are demonstrating empirically is the mechanics of a 'laid-back' feel.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote>BIAB's jazz solo is quite convincing. I sure wish I could improvise a melody read-time like that. About 10 years ago, I took a stab at learning jazz piano from a Seattle area jazz musician. He was kind to me-- after all, I was paying him for the lessons ;-) -- but I could tell he thought I was sort of a hopeless case. I gave up after 6 months. Maybe I'll try again someday

Cheers
