## What is La Pompe Live?

La Pompe Live is the practice app for jazz musicians — real backing tracks, scrollable chord charts, and setlists you can use at workshops, rehearsals, and on the bandstand. Built for anyone who works from a chart: guitar, piano, horns, bass, vocals, and more.

PLAY WITH THE CHART IN FRONT OF YOU
• Full chord charts synced to the music
• Bar-accurate looping — isolate any section and repeat it
• Transpose any tune to the key you need
• Metronome and tuner built in
• Keep playing in the background with lock-screen / media controls

BACKING TRACKS THAT SWING
• Pre-mixed bass & guitar tracks in authentic la pompe style (Christiaan van Hemert)
• Tempo control — practice slow, then bring it up to gig speed
• Key control — transpose the backing tracks to any key you wish
• Free demo tunes included; unlock the full library with Premium
• New tunes added regularly

YOUR CHARTS & SETLISTS
• Create and edit your own charts (quick bar-by-bar editing)

MADE FOR REAL PRACTICE
Whether you’re learning Minor Swing, Giant steps, prepping a standard in twelve keys, or running a workshop set, everything stays on your phone and works offline once tracks are cached. The backing library encompasses all styles of jazz: from swing to post bop!

Free: charts, metronome, tuner, user charts, sharing, and demo backing tracks (Minor Swing, Nuages, Avalon, Confirmation & Invitation).

### 5/5 — Must have music app!

*2026-08-13*

Great app which gives you real backing tracks recorded by a master of this genre, alongside the chord charts. You can create your own play- or setlists, loop sections for practicing, intuitive to use, great UI. It also has a tuner and a metronome, so it‘s the „Swiss pocket knife“ or better Dutch multi-tool. All you need in 1 app!

### 5/5 — Must Have App!

*2026-08-13*

This app is a must have for anyone who has used Christiaan’s Youtube backing tracks or watched his instructional videos. It has a ton of features and works as described, offering musicians hours of quality practice time to hone their phrases and craft their solos. It’s a great way to apply Christiaan’s methods (e.g. Constant Phrase Application, etc.) while working on the phrases in his videos and e-books, but it isn’t limited to that. The tracks work with any instrument, they are not overly busy or distracting, they sound great, they swing like crazy and the list of songs grows literally every day! I’ve been using it daily since I got it, and I’ve heard that Christiaan himself does as well! Be warned: you may find yourself practicing more than you ever have before!

### 5/5 — Incredible Tool

*2026-08-12*

For practicing Gypsy Jazz tunes a Swiss Knife, steadily growing repertoire and backing tracks
A Must-Have !!!!

### 5/5 — Ultimate Backing Track and Practicing App

*2026-08-10*

Extremely well thought out and useful app. Everything one would need for practicing and improving. High quality backing tracks and the flexibility to change keys and tempos are amazing. Although the app name of La Pompe Live may seem like it is only Gypsy Jazz oriented, there is a wide variety of different jazz songs available. Tuner works great and the metronome is top notch. Plus the ability to create and share charts. I will definitely be recommending this app to my other musician friends.
