of todays most popular keyboardists including Herbie Hancock, Yanni, Ray
Charles, Stevie Wonder, Teddy Riley, Michael McDonald, Eddie Palmieri, Nicky
Hopkins, Keith Emerson, Dr. John, Jimmy Smith etc. Although this product is
directed mainly for keyboardists/pianists, other musicians such as guitar
players, bass players, woodwind and brass players have used it for their on
going study. CD or cassette recorded at both normal and slow tempos. Playing
along with the CD or cassette is like having a mini-private lesson with a
back-up band as accompaniment each time you sit down to practice.
