Evansish

This is based on "mellowjazz.mma" and tries to be a bit like Bill Evans (although no one could ever be that great!). The style knocks the roots out of all the piano chords and relies on the bass player for roots. I use this for the example songs "But Beautiful" and "Some Other Time".

Variables

PUSH0 The swing feeling for this groove is controlled by the PUSH0 value. By default it is set to 0.666 which gives a regular ``swing'' feel. You might want to change it to 0.75 for a more ``square'' feel.
