Fine and great ! Would you please place these GP5 files in the group's "files" section ? My mail don't like attached files (it accepts only .doc files) Thanks ...
Hi ! I have a couple of very old midi files with Ralph's music. Is anyone interested in trying to convert them in to Guitar Pro files ? In such case email me...

Is the Solo Concert CD improvised? I ask this because all the tunes on it have different composers, so was Ralph only playing the tunes or improvising?...
That's not true - other than Nardis (Miles Davis) and Ralph's Piano Waltz and Timeless (both by Abercrombie), the rest - four tunes - are Towner's. There's...
Well.......duh. Thats not what I was asking, I thought ralph was playing from scratch like Keith Jarrett plays but these were tunes he had learnt, it wasnt...
I think that the idea that improvising with a predefined structure is, with all due respect, a little shortsighted. It doesn't take less skill - in fact, some...
Im sorry David I dont accept that at all. I occasionally play standards at a local jazz club myself, and even with my limited knowldge its easy to play within...
