What customers say
Hi Larry,
I just wanted to say thanks for being so helpful to my students during your recent website revamp. I use a lot of your tracks on my solo gigs and have been recommending them to my students for years so it was great that you were able to upload the tunes they needed so quickly.
All the best, new website looks good.
Kind regards,

I bought the multi-track for Cry me a river , and I have to say it's a great idea.
My DAW is Reaper and I had no trouble installing the tracks.
Please keep them coming !

Thank you for making these beautiful tracks that allow me to work as a solo performer without sounding like a karaoke contestant.
13/6/2015 by Debbie Orta about This Masquerade
I recently took up the trumpet as a 44yr old man. I played for 6 years in middle/ high school. My love of early jazz inspired me to take it up again.
I searched for a long time for a back track site and found that they were all very user un-friendly or unclear about what they were offering. You guys are the best. Easy to find songs, easy to tell what instruments are appropriate for playing over the back tracks, and VERY simple buying and downloads. I cannot thank you enough. Apart from practicing improv, with your materials for each piece, I can present my jazz group with everything we need to execute a given piece. AND, your back tracks are tastefully performed and at appropriate tempos. Thank You a million times. -
8/3/2015 by Bernard Murphy, Trumpet and Guitar player about Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
Although I've only purchased a few of your tracks, I find them excellent.
I've been using Aebersold's awesome tracks for three decades, but your ready-made, bass-absent tracks make things so much easier. And the arrangements and players? Fabulous.
5/12/2015 by Buck Busfield - Sacramento, California. about Autumn Leaves
Just to say I am impressed with Jazzbacks quality and service! I've made my money back tenfold since using these tracks! Intuitive and rock steady!

I really love your tracks.I'm already using them in some of my dinner house gigs there so mellow the people love them. Looking forward to some new additions in your playlist. Keep up the good work.

The arrangements for vocals are divine - I'm just loving singing "What a difference a day makes"
Thank you guys

Thank you. Great customer support!
18/1/2015 by Tia Coffey about Feeling Good
OMG'ness, this is the BEST site for jazztracks that are pleasant to sing to, and include the lead sheets in the proper key---kudos, and keep us the good work. Add more tracks, and I'm a customer for life!
3/6/2014 by Heidi about Embraceable You
I just want to tell you how much I am enjoying the tracks that I purchased form you.
I have been playing and scrounging a living for over 55 years but I am now semi retired.
I have chosen this time to finally learn the fretboard and to keep my brain active by picking songs that I kind of know and play lead along to..
I have always been a rhythm player( singer songwriter) but now I an amazed how much my fingers know about the fretboard.
Thank you for the quality of your recordings,,once I get these tracks down pat I will purchase more.
Kind regards

Larry,
This email just made my morning! Thank you SO MUCH for generously sending me this track! Over the next few weeks, I intend to purchase several more tracks from Jazzbacks.com and even Soulbacks.com. Such great tracks~ far superior to the large amount of cheeeezey tracks out there. Thanks again!
Your New Happy Customer,
20/8/2013 by Peyton about Lullaby Of Birdland
I own a number of your tracks. I really enjoy the latin tracks. Your bossa tracks are much better than anything else out there. They are recorded so well, with warmth. I sometimes listen to them even when I'm not practicing - just to enjoy. Any chance of adding any more bossas or other latin tunes?
20/8/2013 by Frank R. about Girl From Ipanema
Excellent track - really happy.
Thank you.
20/8/2013 by Anna-Maria Andrews about Summertime
I am still loving those backing tracks!
I have been using them now for over two years at my weddings and dinner/dances and I have now been playing at the Brighton Hilton Metropole for over a year and a half as their resident singer.
20/8/2013 by Helena Kaldalons about Way You Look Tonight
I purchased and downloaded some tracks yesterday, and I just wanted to say that I'm very happy with them. I appreciate the supplementary material, too. As backing tracks go, yours are the most tasteful I've come across.
Thanks so much; I'm sure I'll be a regular customer,
20/8/2013 by Pam Pecko about Somewhere Over The Rainbow
I got the backing track of Django Reinhardt's Nuages. That is fantastic! I love it! More of those please!
20/8/2013 by Bruce Larke about Nuages
I have to agree with the other comments on this site: yours are the only decent backing tracks I've been able to find. All of the others resort to the dreaded sampler, and they sound - frankly - naff. From the opening bars your stuff announces quality, and every single track is brilliant. A vital service - don't stop!

"Finally a website providing great songs, quality backings and excellent customer service! I am a singer and multi-instrumentalist and I am using the jazzbacks audio backing files to practice and play along with my harmonica and saxophone. I will also be using some files as backing for a live project incorporating lead vocals, sax, flute, harmonica and guitar in a duo. Well done!"
9/7/2013 by Aria Stone, Australia about Back At The Chicken Shack
I have been using Jazzbacks for a couple of years now, and have downloaded a couple of dozen tracks. The recordings are impeccably done, with great sound quality. The musicianship is first-rate, and the arrangements are hip but easy to learn. They are great to learn the material with, as the changes are always correct, and they're fun to play along to. I'm hoping to do some solo stuff with the tracks in the near future and I know they'll make me sound good.

Just to let you know I have enjoyed your tracks and use them at home and my gigs. I'm 77 years old and play sax. Do some gigs with these tracks. I usually order the melody tracks. They are just what I wanted. Use to have 4 or 5 piece group and played these songs, but most of my musicians have passed away. I will be buying more and telling my friends. My wife also enjoys all these tracks when I play with them.
10/7/2013 by Paul Dunlop, USA about More
My son xxxxx is a talented young budding jazz trumpet player. I ordered a couple of your backing tracks for him. His favourite is What a wonderful world, which he made his own. Despite the fact that it is a backing track, it is good and musical enough to leave him space for his own signature improvs in between. Your service is also very professional and excellent. I will certainly order more tracks in future from you. As a music lecturer myself, I can highly recommend your products and service.
20/12/2013 by Karin about What A Wonderful World
So far, you have the best downloadable tracks on the Internet. Nice going!
11/12/2013 by Tom Tally, California about Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
Hi Larry,Thanks very much for the cd - it arrived on the Wednesday. It was a little different to the version I was expecting but it worked out better than the version I was thinking of anyway. The arrangement worked really well as the first dance at the wedding. I was also very impressed by the good quality of the sound.I will certainly let you know if I need any of the others you listed and would like to be kept updated as you add more to your list
Many thanks,
9/11/2013 by Trina Innes about Look Of Love
We received the CD earlier this week and have been working on the tracks. I like all of them; they've all got a great feel, are set at comfortable and achievable tempos, and are laid out clearly (it's so useful to have the arrangement details sent out with the tracks).
We feel that the service you offer is great value for money, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other people. I'm really looking forward to seeing your website in full swing.
As far as a learning kit for Cantaloupe Island goes, I'd love to give it a go..... sounds intriguing!

9/11/2013 by Frank R about How Insensitive
Larry and the crew at Jazzbacks are doing a fantastic job of offering "first-rate" backings for solo work. I've ordered 9 tracks from them now, and I am extremely happy with the professional layout and interpretation of the songs. I look forward to doing business with them for a long time.
9/11/2013 by Randy B. about Black Orpheus
I am very happy to know who is behind all the tracks I listen every day and on which I play my sax.These tracks are very good, harmonically rich and better than many other ones (competitors names removed) and the cost is reasonable.
9/11/2013 by Jean Paul B. about My Favorite Things
I am a Jazzbacks addict. I am primarily a singer (guitar player), but also play tenor sax. That’s where Jazzbacks/Soulbacks come in. I have many of your tunes that I use to back of my sax performances during my gigs. It really sets what I do apart from the usual solo singer with a guitar. I record a lot of my own music, but Jazzbacks saves me time, are excellent quality and a good value. The only problem I’ve had is that the bass track has been too hot on a few tracks. Upon letting you know that you quickly sent me a fresh mix with reduced bass.
Simply awesome! Thanks Jazzbacks!

9/11/2013 by Paul Dunlop - Michigan about But Not For Me
As a working jazz guitarist I would like to share what I believe is essential in back-up accompaniment. First I don't need a piano playing esoteric extended bebop chords. Next I need the music to "swing" with a steady beat, as opposed to a "chopped up" oddly syncopated rhythm that dictates how you play the tune. I have created a large loyal fan base by following these principles. Always keeping in mind, my job, is to entertain and create jazz fans among the general public.Jazzbacks gives me what I need to meet these goals. Also the chord sheets for C, Eb, and Bb instruments are very helpful for my featured guest artists.
9/11/2013 by Joseph Riedi - USA about Under My Skin
With the service you are offering I doubt you will need many testimonials. I've searched the web for hours looking for professional jazz backing tracks, and haven't found any other sites that offer what you do. There are one or two out there selling the odd jazz track, but from our experience the quality is very poor. There's no one out there offering backing tracks for instrumentalists.
Anyway, I hope that the launch goes well, it's brilliant to finally have someone offering a much needed service, things like this encourage people to go out and perform Jazz live; sometimes it's not always an option to be in a group (we've got two small boys, so we do a lot of juggling already), although at times it has felt that is the only way to get out and do this kind of thing. I was so happy when I came across your site, and I'm sure there are lots of people out there like me, who just want to gain performing confidence and experience, strengthen improvising skills in a live environment, and start earning a bit of money to pay the bills, whilst having a great time
By the way, I'm going to start on Cantaloupe Island next week!
Have a great week!
9/11/2013 by Natasha and Mark about Cantaloup Island
You guys figured it out. Finally the tracks I've been looking for to do a trumpet/sax duo jazz gig. The quality is awesome and the price is very reasonable. Keep the tunes coming."
