For anyone who might be interested... I sometimes contribute to a jazz
guitar forum and some members occasionally post backing tracks for the
other intrepid members to try to solo over. In a best case scenario
this is a kind of healthy, hands-on problem solving exercise,
unfortunately no one ever seems to have put an art-first approach to
the idea of a backing track and so far they've all been pretty, err,
Love Boat! Oh well, usually I'd approach a samba or a bossa nova hoping
for something a little more interactive. But this sort of
canned ,clockwork jazz-in-a-box track obviates any attempt in that
direction, so I just hada little fun laying waaaaay back and roughing
up the changes and the time--and the intonation--a bit .
