Styles Set #41: “More Smooth Jazz”

Styles for Band-in-a-Box®
Introduction and Overview
Thank you for purchasing Styles Set #41 with 21 great new “More Smooth Jazz” styles for Band-in-a-Box.

Note: As these styles use some of the newer Stylemaker features, you must have Band-in-a-Box Version 11.0 (or
higher) for some of these styles to work properly.

This new series of Smooth Jazz styles feature 21 exciting and fun and funky grooves, with an emphasis on 4/4, 3/4,
and World-Beat textures! Each style is complete with demo tune that includes a melody and solo tracks played in the
Smooth Jazz genre. These new styles will inspire the beginner to the advanced fan of Adult-Contemporary Jazz music -
with titles such as Fairland, SoSass, Karma, Moshu, and Starlit in grooves like mellow 3/4 16th, even 8ths New Age, Swing
16 funky pop jazz, jazzy 4/4 soft funk, smooth jazz ballad, funky 16ths and lots more.

One of the easiest ways to explore the new styles is from the “select style” window (press the “STY” button). If you
scroll to near the end of the categories list on the left, you can select the “More Smooth Jazz - 41” category, then highlight
the individual styles and press the “Load song demo button.” It’s a good idea to un-check the “Auto-change Melody
instrument” so that you’ll hear the correct demo melody instrument. You can also sort the styles by Styles Set number if
you like. More detailed information about each style is available by pressing the Memo button of the Demo tune. The
Demo tunes for these styles follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. For example, the DEMO song for
ANSWERS.STY is ANSWERS.MGU.

By all means visit the PG Music home page on the Web at www.pgmusic.com. There are lots of interesting
downloads, demos, streaming videos, magazine and customer reviews, including streaming audio-visual program
tutorials, radio interviews and more. Review your favorite products or stop by the Styles wish-list page, where you can
request specific styles or leave feedback and suggestions - that’s how we stay in touch with you. So drop in and check it
out.

We hope you enjoy these “More Smooth Jazz” styles.

Have fun.
