Instead, a lot of these loops are very similar, the recording quality is not at all optimal (or even consistent, for that matter), and it feels more like an introduction to jazz, rather than a comprehensive tour of the genre.

On the plus side, all the loops are well organised into BPM-marked tempo groups.
