Hal is not only very gifted for the obvious challenge of playing high-quality bass lines and chord voicings simultaneously, but he also has a great gift for time feel, counterpoint, note choices, and spontaneous reharmonization, all at a very high level of creativity and execution. These play-alongs have done much to loosen up my own creativity as well as prepare me for concerts and gigs." Jerry Coker "Hal's play-along recordings are full of challenging harmonies and refreshing rhythmic variety. A fun approach to practicing and a real workout for your ear." Chris Cheek, tenor sax "Using Hal's play-along recordings is an effective way to practice the topics in his book How to Improvise. His comping is inventive, fresh and it swings hard." Dave Ballou, trumpet Problems Ordering? Click Here
