Jim Wedd's Choice Changes cc1
For Band-in-a-Box (with compatible Fake Book)

Jim Wedd's Choice Changes for
The Best Chord Changes for the Most Requested Standards
by Frank Mantooth and Dr. David N. Baker

"Secret" Professional Chord Substitutions will make you sound like a Pro

Information and Ordering Complete Song List

Chord substitutions that will make you sound like a pro

If you love standards, you will like this disk / book. If you love great professional chord changes and substitutions, you will love this disk / book.

Jim Wedd, author of the popular Jim Wedd Chord Substitution disks (found on the Norton Music site) has often been asked, "Where can I find the music so I can play along with your fantastic chord changes?".

Well, Jim has answered your request by applying his Choice Changes to the songs in the Frank Mantooth series of books.

When you purchase this disk, instead of getting Frank Mantooth's changes for the songs in the book, you will get Jim's.

There are usually many ways to harmonize a melody, and preferences for any of these variants is a matter of personal taste.
   Jim Wedd

Will you like Jim Wedd's changes better? Many vocalists do.

I sang with Harry James, Jerry Gray, Sy Zentner, Les Brown, Stan Kenton and Charlie Barnet. I was lucky enough to work with some of the best West Coast musicians: Shelly Mann, Mel Lewis, Jimmy Rowles (my personal favorite), Claude Williamson, Lou Levy, Max Bennet, Joe Mondragon, Shorty Rogers, Bud Shank and Dick and Ted Nash, to name a few. Some great arrangers wrote charts for me: Nelson Riddle, Bill Holman, Billy May, Pete Rugalo, and Bob Florence.

When I first worked with Jim Wedd I was immediately impressed with his chord changes. They are among the best I have ever heard.

I'm always delighted playing or singing along with Jim's changes and know you will enjoy them also.

● "The (Norton Music) Style Disks are a good buy. Many of them do a great job of showing off Band-In-A-Box's capabilities, and one of them just might give you an idea for that next million dollar song." - Electronic Musician Magazine

● "I bought a disk and some individual styles from "Notes". They really are as good as the Real styles. Not sure how he does it." Erik Hansen (Posted on the Yahoo Band-in-a-Box group.)

● "Bob, I purchased three of your newly released fake books. I would like let you know how much enjoyment I am getting from them. They are a bargain. For the work you guys put into them it is hard to believe. The style selection and arrangements are excellent. One song is worth the price of the software. I have purchased many fake books from you over the years, these are great. Keep up good work,thanks." - Tony Difurio

● "Thanks for the great work you do! I've used many of PG Music's styles as well as yours in creating our backing tracks and find yours bring them to life much more easily and with much less tweaking." - Mike Dustan, Maple Ridge, BC, Canada

● "We feel fortunate that someone on the BIAB forum suggested your fake book disks to us. For amateur musicians, you and your wife provide a very valuable service and quality product that is very useful. You have been very kind and patient in answering our simplistic questions. The end result is that we are able to bring a little cheer to the folks in retirement homes and hospitals. It's incredible that some who may have not spoken for months begin to sing some song that they recognize. We look around and many are smiling and tapping their hands or feet. This is the payment that we receive and we are very thankful for it. I wish more "senior" musicians would perform some tunes for the infirmed folks." - Stan Smith - Redding CA

● "I decided to check out your styles disks, because everyone in the user group was "talking about them. WOW! I listened to your samples and what a difference they are from the standard BIAB styles. ...Your styles are GREAT! Fantastic! Creative! Outstanding! -- I can't come up with enough superlatives to describe them. Thank you for taking the time to create them and for sharing them with others! - Alice Bartley" - Renton WA

● "Happy to report that I was able to download to disk and then had no trouble getting it installed in BIAB. Have made tapes of several tunes and am playing over the wonderful backups with my cello or clarinet at many of the convelescent facilities I "teach" my adult education classes in "Adventures in Music." Thrilled with your tasty backkups and appreciate variations in second choruses etc. - Dave Walter - Livermore CA

● "I just wanted to let you know that I've been very happy with having all of these new styles available. I've been using them in most of the new files I've made and just wish that I would have bought them a couple of years ago." - Debra Ackley - Potterville MI

● Thanks you so much for the quick follow-up with my order. Was afraid I would have to wait a couple of days for the email delivery. Your excellent customer service and prompt delivery is very much appreciated. Have already spent a few hours playing with (guitar) the styles and demo songs you provided. Very high quality stuff. They are just what I needed to help get me 'out of the box' and on to the next level of playing. - Frederick S. Fahrner Jr. - Santa Cruz CA

● I received the styles and I love them! They were everything that I expected and more. - Nick Conley - Redwood City CA

● "I just installed your Christmas Fake Book songs and style disk #3 on my Mac. Actually, that's not quite true - I installed them about 10:30 or 11, and have been playing along with them for the past 4 hours. Before I head off to catch a few hours sleep, I just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed the songs and what a great job you did with the styles. I know you've probably heard it before, but thanks for the great job!" - Rob Fish - Powell, Ohio

● Your style files are exellent! I am very pleased to listen your many styles. They will give me many many inspirations for me composing music or writing songs. - Mitsuru Yamazaki - Tokyo Japan

● I am compelled to write and let you know how much I am enjoying using your BB add on products. The care and musicality of their development has allowed me to take my compositions to new levels. Please continue developing new products!! The world (and hopefully your wallet) will thank you. Sincerely, Peter B. Bergman Production Manager Catsong Studio

● "Before I found Norton Styles I had no life. Now I still have no life, but at least there's a great soundtrack!" - Steve Cox, Memphis, TN

● "The fake book and disk are super ... I had a great time putting together some dance music in preparation for the fall season. The same cannot be said of many products, but yours really did deliver more than had been promised. Thanks a bunch." Brian Cavanagh - cavanaly@____.___

● "Just want to drop you a note about the new styles. The are terrific! These are you best yet. Everything has a full realistic sound. There is a style that works in almost everything I'm doing and they knock me out. ... They are a must for anyone who uses BIAB" - Mike Deeson - Tampa FL

● "...Thanks for a great product!" - Wayne Bollinger - Cary NC

● "Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoy your style disks. I had previously purchased 2 of your style disks. Within a week or two I found that they were the ones I ended up using 9 times out of 10. So I just bought a bunch more. You should warn people that your style disks are like drugs -- once you get a little, you're hooked! :)" - Dan Thomas - Placentia CA

● "As I am typing this note, I am listening to a BIAB melody which came from a relatively random assignment of chords and one of your styles. It doesn't feel like midi at all, but rather as if I had tapped into some internet radio station broadcasting a live concert of real musicians." - Henry Lefkowitz - Columbia MD

● "Both disks are installed and work properly. Great job, they sound very professional. Bravo!" - C. Miville Bois - Ville d'Anjou PC Canada

● "Thank you very much for the e mail delivery of my order for Norton Styles ... Wow!! that's a great way for delivery - everything done in less than a day. I'm already enjoying your styles having tried many of them out - it feels like Christmas time and it's most exciting to see all your new ideas... Thank you very much for all the fun and satisfaction that your programs bring. The style picker window update download is fabulous . Now I can see all your styles on the screen instead of having to go to your documentation - which is excellent too by the way." - John Potts - Elmvale, ON Canada

● "Everything is now cool - what great work! My very brief perusal was gratifying - can hardly wait for school to be out so I can really get into the new styles you wrote." - Dave Murray - Valley Center CA

● "I have tried out some of the files, and I must say that I am very satisfied... I shall use them for "Look up notes" in a Blues project I am working with now for a friend of mine, who are a Good Blues singer. It is also very helpful for the musicians who shall play on the project to have some ground to stand on. Without the work you have done here, this would have taken much more time. I am there for just glad, to also could pay for the work you have done here." - Bjørn Pedersen - Tromso Norway

● "I had a very brief chance to listen to a few of the files. Great work! makes even a cheap soundcard sound 100% better." - Mark Andrews - Hunt Valley MD

● "Everythings are OK and the new styles are installed. I can only say: ALL THE STYLES ARE REALLY GOOD AND PROFESSIONAL. Million times better than BIAB original." - Erkki Viinikka - Espoo Finland

● "Very nice styles that do offer something that is not redundant with PG styles." - Jeff Holman - Roseville MN

I really, truly, like your style disks ... they're so much better than PG's 'fluff'n stuff' - there's hope for BiaB with help from you! The fake book is too much for me to assimilate yet, but the songs I tried worked great." - Walter Hanna, Fallbrook, CA

● "Thanks! The styles are installed...they work...and, on the off-chance you hadn't noticed yourself, they're richer and generally more elegant than the BiaB styles pgmusic has." - M.R., Marco Island, FL

● "By the way, your styles are great. It's like eating a potato chip. You can't just stop by buying only one. I had to have them all." - Tony Sumy, Pittsfield, MA

● "Your styles definitely bring BB tracks up to a more professional level." - Keith Burrows - kburrows@____.net

Nowadays it is very rare to find business people who take genuine interest in their clients and customers. To put yourself in your clients shoes is a very admirable quality. ...

● "My favorite Birthday present this year? A Bob Norton styles disk for my Band-In-The-Box program. Your styles disks bring the sounds generated by Band-In-The-Box to a new level. Canned music without the can. As a composer and a musician, I find that I am pleased with the sounds that come out.

● "Just a note to say thank you very much. I received the User Style disks this morning, installed them into BB and WOW! What an improvement on PG Music's styles, especially connected to the Roland JV 1080 sound module. I'm really itching to work with it, but it will have to wait 'till tomorrow. And from next week I'm on leave, so you'll know where to find me. Thank's once again for your prompt service. Give me time to work through this lot and then I'll place an order for the other disks." - eddie.goldberg.recording.studio@____.___

● "Norton gives us what Band In The Box needs most; styles that jump 'OUT of the box' and into your imagination!" ~ Steve Cox, Memphis, TN

● "In fact I will be recommending [in my new book] that people not even use Band-In-In-A-Box UNLESS THEY USE YOUR STYLES WITH IT! I'm not sure how you do it, but you make an average program turn into one on the "honor roll"! if you know what I mean. (I don't mean to say that all of PG's stuff is bad. They do hit a good style here & there.(jazz styles etc...)... but any musician that's honest would have to say that a lot of it is "square"). Your styles give it a more realistic, "live" feel.... thus the name of the program should then be changed to A-REAL-BAND-OUT-OF-THE-BOX"---- Maybe you should advertise.... "Is it LIVE...or is it NORTON? Guess that's already taken...Just a thought." ~ Keith Burrows - Trumpet Sound Music Productions - Terre Haute, IN

● "I just installed your styles and they work very nice. I just have to tell you that I couldn't imagine that Band-in-a-Box could sound like that. It's a great pleasure to work with these sounds." - Alfred Niederhofer, Regensburg, Germany

● "Thank you very much for your kindness in the middle of Christmas. I am really satisfied with these new styles, and my fake books are starting to really work as they should. I also have to say that I am very impressed over the work you have done with it, and I'm really looking forward to start to work with it in my studio. Not so very long time from now I will buy the rest of them, because I think they work perfectly as a back up for my artists. They sound right." Best regards from Bjørn "Worse" Pedersen

● "...meanwhile I had the time to listen to all the new styles I bought last week. They are marvelous!!! Thanks a lot! Ulrich Maier - Email: CUMaier@____.___

● "Everythings are OK and the new "superstyles" are installed. I must say, that your styles are the best ever made for BIAB. I really like them." ~ Erkki Viinikka - Espoo Finland

● "... Also, have had a chance to quickly go through the styles, and they sound GREAT. Thanks a lot!" - Darcy Brand - Calgary AB Canada
