    This great app is broken
    The latest iOS versions have broken this stellar app. It is an awesome and great sounding, with some truly wonderful musicians, but it is broken and hopefully will be fixed

    Would rate even lower
    Does not work, version 1 or 2. Really a bummer, don’t waste your money.

    Has Only 10 Songs You Never Heard of
    Only has 10 songs. What a rip. Jazz essentials ... Not even close. This guy is ripping off other musicians. He should be ashamed of himself!

    Great learning system.
    I am a lifelong drummer, rock, funk, country. Finally at 50 I am finally learning to swing! This has been fantastic accompaniment tool to develop my play!

    A+ app 100% fun
    I'm not a pro musician but I'm in love with this app. Very easy to use. Recording is very helpful to check your progress.

    Waste of money
    Not sure who wrote the favorable reviews but this is NOT worth the money. A lot better apps out there for less. If it had been $2.99 maybe.

    Love it!!!
    This is a great app that is easy to use. Fun to practice along with.

    Wow!!! Must have. Both Volumes.
    I am a professional Jazz drummer. I literally just played a gig with Darek Oles. So let me make it clear, that at any level of musicianship, this is an AMAZING practice/warmup tool! Just tuning your time to the click on a daily basis is a critical discipline for being a good listener while you perform. With this tool, I get that, but I can warm up with my virtual version of my friend Darek, with or without click, at each tempo and style. This will be a must have for all my students. Show more

    Thanks
    Brilliant idea and an infinitely helpful practice tool. Very glitchy though.

    amazing!!!
    This app is ingenious!!! Music-minus-one on steroids. This app makes the best possible use of modern technology for teaching and practicing.

    Perfect app for practicing jazz improvisation
    Great app! Lead sheet + very high quality playalong. The last reviewer must have been confused by the titles of the songs in this app because these are undeniably the most important tunes for a jazz musician to know: Blues, Rhythm Changes, All the Things You Are, Autumn Leaves, Stella by Starlight and So What. They have been cleverly renamed, presumably to avoid copyright issues. I use this app when I teach jazz piano - beginning and intermediate improvisers NEED to know these songs. They are staples of the jazz repertoire. I love the mixer feature - an element of control you won't get from Aebersolds. Show more

    U gotta be kidding me
    6 songs that aren't even super popular standards. This is NOT like the real book or irealB software or aebersold. Not worth $12 or $1

    Amazing!
    This app is incredible. Its like sitting in with a world class rhythm section right in your own home. Learning from the best at its best!

    Doesn't play properly on iPhone 4
    This is a great idea but the apps don't play without stuttering on the iPhone 4. I have a lot of music apps that work fine on this iPhone so it seems to be the apps themselves. I don't see any warning about hardware minimum requirements. If you don't have a recent phone, don't buy this. Show more
