Latin jazz and Brazilian jazz tunes!

These files are very small and require Band in a Box to play.

  Note: most of these files were done on BIAB version 2004 or earlier, and therefore have no references to Real Drums or Real Tracks. Also, many of the instrument choices and volume settings may need to be readjusted for your synth or softsynth, which may be different from what I was using at the time. Once you adjust one song to fit your equipment, you should find a similar adjustment will work for all other songs.

This music is provided free. These are chord changes to both common and obscure Brazilian and Latin jazz-style tunes that I like to play.  All files have been transcribed by me. There are no melodies, but there are some background arrangement parts on some tunes.

Discolsures: I have no commercial interest in any music herein.  It is my understanding from many companion sites that it is legal to provide chord changes, but not melodies. If anyone objects to posting their music in this way, I will immediately remove it.

 I have done transcription work as a consultant to PG Music, the Canadian company that makes Band-in-a-Box, but these transcriptions have nothing to do with that work.
