"Creative Comping is a marvelous addition to the play-along industry! Hal is not only very gifted for the obvious challenge of playing high-quality bass lines and chord voicings simultaneously, but he also has a great gift for time feel, counterpoint, notechoices, and spontaneous reharmonization, all at a very high level of creativity and execution. These play-alongs have done much to loosen up my own creativity as well as prepare me for concerts and gigs."
Jerry Coker

"Hal's play-along recordings are full of challenging harmonies and refreshing rhythmic variety. A fun approach to practicing and a real workout for your ear."
Chris Cheek, tenor sax

"Using Hal's play-along recordings is an effective way to practice the topics in his book How to Improvise. His comping is inventive, fresh and it swings hard."
Dave Ballou, trumpet
