Here is our collection of backing tracks of the jazz standard, Just Friends, written by John Klenner with lyrics by Sam M Lewis.
Just Friends has been recorded by many of the big names in jazz, most notably Chet Baker's version made it a bit of west coast jazz choice, but you will also find that it has been favoured by John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Dexter Gordon... and the list goes on.
Our backing tracks are recorded with live musicians, including a live drummer and double bassist. Another quality set of tracks from Jazzbacks!
