The material on this album is meant to provide a framework for players to develop their own style and technique. Some players will want to start by simply playing along with the rhythm section and setting a solid foundation. For others, these tracks provide an opportunity to improvise and work on solos and parts in a structured setting similar to an actual recording session. In addition to the complete play-along track, each song has an alternate version where Denison plays an improvised “example” part over the track.
