"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
