just do it
This app helps a player into new levels of playing. Superb musicians playing all the modern rhythm section parts at a high level. The tempo is adjustable. These New Yorkers are obsessed with uptempo displays of jazz standards. This app is a good starting point for all players at all levels. I like that they know all the changes and alternate changes and modal sections of pieces. So if one only knows basic real book changes this app will get them accustomed to the advanced common jazz harmony in real time at any tempo. These players take no prisoners so one can grow by leaps and bounds rather quickly. Well worth every penny. It’s like hundreds of lessons with top pros for the price of dinner!

Fantastic app
Great app for backing jazz tracks played by top musicians, sounds way better than iReal MIDI tracks, and unlike Quartet there is no “you need to download multiple apps” nonsense.

Pretty good
I purchased this a few weeks ago to review for my students. I am comparing it to the two other jazz play along available on the App Store that feature real human players recorded (quartet and feel book)I am a jazz professor, and use these tools to teach and practice every day. This app comes with a great selection of tunes and they are adding more each week. No complaints there. The recorded instruments sound fine overall, although the bass is very boomy. The musicianship is excellent, and is a great model of real world parameters (why does the piano player keep repeating that same rhythm instead of listening?, etc). The tempos are mostly in the mid range which is perfect for developing jazz musicians. Some outliers- Giant Steps is so fast that if you slow it down for teaching then there are too many audio artifacts. The developers would be wise to record mid versions of that tune, Cherokee and others so they can be used for more pragmatic teaching applications. Overall, I think this app is certainly on the level of the other competitors available.
