-K, let me chime in here; :) RE: the whole idea of 'too easy...' What if, rather than being an idea of being too easy, it's simply an idea of wanting to promote a certain specific sonic quality or ambience of a piece which is just too much or varied for the performer to play all at once?... So, in essence, the backing tracks are being used as specific 'instruments...' I personally feel that all of the bits of a performance that a performer deems necessary are important for the performance as a whole... It's not whether a piece can 'stand' by itself but would it have the same impact?... -or one that the performer intended?... Anyway, terrific topic!!! Have an awesome evening All!...
