Erskine Jazz Essentials Vol. 1 User Reviews

Thanks

Brilliant idea and an infinitely helpful practice tool. Very glitchy though.

amazing!!!

This app is ingenious!!! Music-minus-one on steroids. This app makes the best possible use of modern technology for teaching and practicing.

Tracks are INCREDIBLE!!!

I just wish there was more then 10 TRACKS!!! To play along with :,( but the quality is really good:)

Perfect app for practicing jazz improvisation

Great app! Lead sheet + very high quality playalong.

The last reviewer must have been confused by the titles of the songs in this app because these are undeniably the most important tunes for a jazz musician to know: Blues, Rhythm Changes, All the Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Stella by Starlight and So What. They have been cleverly renamed, presumably to avoid copyright issues.

I use this app when I teach jazz piano - beginning and intermediate improvisers NEED to know these songs. They are staples of the jazz repertoire.

I love the mixer feature - an element of control you won't get from Aebersolds.

Download it now!

A brilliant app........more please! I hope this is successful. This app should be on the iPhones/iPads of all Jazz students.

U gotta be kidding me

6 songs that aren't even super popular standards.
This is NOT like the real book or irealB software or aebersold.
Not worth $12 or $1

Amazing!

This app is incredible. Its like sitting in with a world class rhythm section right in your own home. Learning from the best at its best!

Doesn't play properly on iPhone 4

This is a great idea but the apps don't play without stuttering on the iPhone 4. I have a lot of music apps that work fine on this iPhone so it seems to be the apps themselves. I don't see any warning about hardware minimum requirements. If you don't have a recent phone, don't buy this.

Fantastic app

Fantastic App!Simple and easy to use.I am using this app in my everyday practicing routing,either I am working on walking bass lines or soloing.
It does't matter what instrument you play this app is absolute must to have!
Great product!Thank you Peter Erskine!

Very enjoyable app!

Really beautiful arrangements of the most obvious jam choices for when musicians get together. I guess the title "Jazz Essentials" says it all. How often do you get to jam with jazz superstars? It's worth the money. I play bass but didn't bother muting the bass, I just solo or walk depending on what I feel like doing. Thanks Peter, I'll buy any more volumes that you create!
