mp3 tracks. The parts are fully interchangeable and can be played with any
combination of two horns and rhythm section. Practice options include: a single
player can play either duet part while the mp3 plays the other part; two players
can play both parts along with the recorded or live rhythm section; and a single
player can work on improvisation with the mp3 tracks or live rhythm section.
Additionally, a full online performance track is available for listening purposes.
