Phil Arnold, Bass Trombone/Chromatic Harmonica, YAMAHA Artist

Phil
Band-In-A-Box 2015 is one of the greatest all-around musician's tools ever. I use it to practice jazz tunes and chord changes. It integrates well with other music programs, so when I write a chart for horns using a publishing program, I usually import the rhythm section from BIAB to hear how it will sound. It is a great compositional tool, and can also be used to make an excellent demo for a song you plan to record. It converts to MIDI, WAV, or mp3 instantly, and so is also great for teaching purposes, or for other musicians in your band to hear and practice a new chart before rehearsal. There are other programs and apps out there that have some similar capabilities, but none equal the ease of use - combined with the versatility and sheer musicality of BIAB. The amazing variety of music styles, down to being able to actually have Ron Carter play bass with you, then choosing between the style of Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, or Bud Powell as the pianist for your own personalized rhythm section, makes this product a top choice for jazz musicians. You are not simply practicing, you are playing with a great rhythm section that knows how to swing! Thank you Peter Gannon, you are a genius!  - Phil Arnold
