The new way to practice jazz! Genius Jamtracks, the play-along app for jazz musicians that thinks and plays like an actual trio. With an impressively realistic sound and feel, it helps you build your repertoire, your jazz vocabulary and master polyrhythms. >>> Brand New Features - Create your own songs with Genius Jamtracks using an easy and intuitive interface. Get creative and listen to how your compositions swing with the Genius Jamtracks trio. - Edit the charts for your favourite jazz standards however you like. “Genius Jamtracks is easily the best play along app out there! Particularly the piano voicings are more logical and realistic than other play-along apps. The bass and drums are not just a simple repetitive pattern, but actually use some jazz language. And it’s nice that you can make the band busy in unpredictable ways. As much like playing with a real group as you can get from an algorithm. Highly recommended!“ Paul Bollenback  “It’s like a jazz musician wrote it. The drums and piano are just like how a jazz drummer and pianist would play. Couldn’t be an easy task to create that!” Steve Beskrone - Easy to read charts! Custom fonts make for beautiful, easy to read chord charts. - Rhythmic Complexity slider Start with simple comping and work your way up to mastering superhuman polyrhythms! - Harmonic Complexity slider Start with triads and work your way up to advanced substitutions and reharmonisation of the song. - The one and only polyrhythmic play-along! In the Jam Session mode, the app decides on its own what to play and when to play it, based on the style of the song and the tempo.
Experiment with how the app transforms the rhythm and the harmony according to the slider levels. - Master your polyrhythms! Focus on a specific grouping, polyrhythm or rhythmic displacement. Ask the trio – or an individual instrument – to include only what you’ve requested when they introduce polyrhythmic phrasing. As you won’t know when or how it will be used though, this feature also helps sharpen your ability to improvise as well as mastering that rhythm! - Why it sounds great. It’s all in the dynamics, note durations, space and feel.
The Genius Jamtracks trio pays close attention to each of these elements to make the Genius Jam Session experience as close to the real thing as possible. - A real swing feel! Forget the robotic triplets of other play-alongs.
When changing the tempo, the app doesn’t simply play faster or slower, the swing feel changes as well. The app learned how to swing by internalising the jazz vocabulary and playing based on real transcriptions from the masters. - Actual voice leading! No matter what your settings are, just press play and you’ll always have the same attention to voice leading from the pianist and the same effort in creating beautiful lines from the bassist to accompany you. Ready to take your skills to the next level?

Who will play the longest solo? - Option for Infinite choruses. - Count-in bug fixed.

    An Amazing Gift to Every Musician!
    What your app is able to do goes way beyond my expexpectations. And to think that it was just sitting on my iPad for over a year until I decided I needed to delete apps I never use and finally opened your Genius JT app. Since I started using it, I've opened up a whole world of inspiration for my improv skills and chops. The programming feats for multiple parameter variations are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work and brilliant concepts-to-creation accomplishments...truly a gift to all musicians! A few suggestions: 1) Having an alphabet column displayed on either far side of the screen would make it easier to browse and quickly find songs beginning witha specific letter ( doable in the search field, but with a column they're just a touch away ) 2) Being able to rename a song is a surprising perc...would be helpful to have the current name appear in the renaming field to save having to retype the entire title from scratch. I've been putting numerals before songs I'm working on to move them to the top of the list and also for creating a "set list" for myself. 3) Adding a "sort by last played" would really be helpful.

    Great App
    Works perfectly for my needs. I wish that it were either audio unit extension AU or inter-app audio so that it can be used with the AUM mixer on iOS.

    Export
    No export? What a disappointment. Version 1.5 of 2017 was way better. I need a refund please. This app has gone backwards. Don't compare this app with iReal Pro. They are light years ahead, this app needs a lot of work if you are comparing it to iReal Pro. Not even a export midi or audio. Don't waste your money. Garbage.? Show more

    Amazing!
    I rated this app 5 stars, even though it needs a few improvements. The fact that both the rhythmic and harmonic complexity can be adjusted makes this app topnotch for creating the variations desired in a rhythm section. Instead of “AI” used to create the complexities of the rhythms and chord substitutions, I would call it “MI” for “musical intelligence.” This app needs the ability to transfer songs between devices and a few other tweaks, but I understand they are coming. I found that out when I contacted support about another question. A few more styles and a keyboard substitution (a B3 maybe?) would be great, but the basics are here already. Support is another reason I gave this app 5 stars. I got an immediate, helpful response to my inquiry, a real plus when getting an app. Show more

    Almost
    Great, clever features, but small procedural bugs that drive you nuts. Hit the heart icon to mark favorite tunes, but nothing goes into the favorites folded, just for one example. Hopefully fixes will come. Thanks for response, now I see it. Show more

    Smooth, Friendly and Deep
    Well I waited long enough to get this gem of a practice and learning tool. Really enjoyed the editor for quick lead sheet ideas. And THEN I pressed play and could tweak and mix these slick backing tracks that really keep you at it. Walking Bass is excellent. Rhythm tools are like nothing else. And I hear it’s gonna get even better! Can’t wait Sincerely Put Show more

    Crashes every time
    I’ll keep this short. I can’t use this app because every time I use it it crashes.

    Split View
    Hello is there a way to make this app share the screen (split screen in Android phones) on my 12.9 brand new iPad Pro with Genius JT and let’s say YouTube? Thanks. Show more

    It needs dark mode.
    It’s a good play along, but it needs dark mode. When I try to change the style, the “done” button is in the way and I can’t change the style. So it needs work, but so far it’s pretty good. Show more
