I've been looking for a backing track with no piano for a long time but I never found anything but bullshit, half ass stuff. This is the first time that I can honestly say. I felt like I was playing with a real legit group of musicians. The trade-offs with the drums at the end was excellent. It gave me time to echo some of his rhythms in my soloing. Well done Thank you very much for that.
