If you're already a Band in a Box user you may have many of these songs but you might want to check these zipped files out anyway. I've browsed the net to get what I have as well as having input some myself thru the keyboards.

If you're not aware of this fabulous program I'd suggest you check it out at the PG Music Home Page. They have a brand new Band in a Box Demo version 8 available which will give you a basic idea of it's capabilities but keep in mind that it doesn't have all the features that the complete program has.

The "soloist" feature will blow your mind. Input a chord progression and then select from over a hundred top jazz musicians and you've got a Barney Kessel or Joe Pass playing their butts off on guitar. Or select Oscar Peterson , George Shearing , Miles Davis or Charlie "Bird" Parker and so on to hear their version. Different solo every time! There are many other name musicians to chose from as your choice of soloist in styles other than jazz. Select your favorite blue grass, country, rock, dixieland, etc., musicians and let 'er rip.

By the way, I'm not affiliated with these people in any way other than being a very satisfied customer.

Check out some of the other links below as well. They will lead you to other sites of interest.

 

You might check out the following news areas where you can exchange files with others. There are many other music areas available besides these few listed. Activity in the band.in.a.box section has been pathetic in the past but your participation will make it hum.

The music makers guitar jazz group is a great bunch of jazz guitarists who exchange tips, techniques, and lots of very interesting exchanges in general.

User of the Week

I'm very pleased to have been chosen by PGMusic to kick off their new feature, User of the Week. Looking forward to seeing interviews with lots of you cats there in the future. Click Here for the review.

Disclaimer: I make every attempt to make sure that everything in these collections is in the public domain. In the event that anything appears that is not, contact me immediately so that I can correct the situation. It is hoped that you, as a musician, amateur or pro, will learn many of these songs using BiaB and re-popularize many of these old standard songs which have become classic. Let's bring good music back to the people!

I have sent 2 emails to the Harry Fox Agency requesting them to advise me of which songs are in violation of any copyright laws. So that they can properly assess which are in violation and which are not, I am reactivating the page, for their benefit, the page at which the songs are available for download. When I receive word from them as to which songs must be removed, I will comply so as to be sure this site is not in violation of any copyright laws.

NEW. Check out my Joke Box page of musician type jokes.
