The program isn't too bad if you play jazz and need some simple background chords for lesson material or jazz standards. If you use the jazz rhythms that have only the bass and acoustic piano, the music is very functional for that purpose. The other sounds such as the guitar or electric piano, etc... sound real cheesy. For the money and for the ease of use, I would recommend it. You don't even need MIDI capabilities to run it. It runs fine through regular computer speakers.
