This collection takes MIDI recording to new and unparalleled heights.
Along with its sister volume: Jazz: Solo Instruments, Jazz Piano Bass Drums will prove irresistible to anyone with an ear for jazz, whether you’re a pro looking to flesh out some arrangements or a student looking for some hands-on examples with which to learn about the complex world of jazz composition.
From chord progressions, to solos, to feels, to licks, parts include walking basslines, brush drum patterns, drum solos, breakneck acoustic piano solos, silky smooth jazz electric piano grooves, and more. Parts are categorized by type and tempo and also by mode or sensibility - ie Dorian mode, major, minor etc., making this volume an excellent jazz tutor from both a playing and study perspective.
Stylistically, the collection spans classic "modern jazz" to radio-friendly smooth jazz; from safe and groovy, to invigoratingly "outside."

Jazz is difficult enough in itself for many musicians who have grown up in a rock, pop, rap, or DJ environment. But jazz’s passion for dexterity and subtlety tends to draw you in eventually. And that’s when so many of us go “Wow. But what are these guys actually playing?”
No need to be a jazzer to appreciate these parts. Some of them work superbly laid against hip hop beats, or pasted into a rock solo, or simply used to add color to a soundtrack. This is probably the most widely applicable title in the Twiddly.Bits collection.
