Play Along Jazz Tunes

[Rumple]

I was wondering if anyone uses any MP3's or CD's they could recommend that have the bass removed so you can play along? I want to learn a few simple jazz lines and would like backing tracks to play along with.


Cheers

I have these two for sale. One is all Duke Ellington tunes (with piano/bass/drums) and the other is a handful of other jazz standards (Guitar/Bass Drums). You can isolate the piano/drums from the bass by turning the balance on your stereo to one side. The Aebersold series are a tried and tested learning tool. Most of us jazzers have used them.

I found this site tonight, sadly you can only pan the piano or the bass with the drums out not just the bass but if you need a cheesy backing track to practice your jazz soloing to it may be useful. it has the bassic chord changes to loads of standards as well.

Use a stereo lead from a computer to the input on your amp, then pull out the Bass side. Play any track you like from Spotify or somewhere, and play the bass over it.

Maybe I'm missing something skywalker but isn't that the same as adjusting the pan control on the computer either hard left or hard right? in the case of the Ralph Patt files you would get either bass with drums no piano or just piano.

I guess so, but to the technically braindead like me pulling out the lead works equally well.
