RECOMMENDED PLAYALONG CDs

These CDs are a great way to practise your jazz improvisation. These recordings have some top jazz musicians playing jazz, standards and blues tracks for you to play along with. I have tried out many of the available CDs including most of the Aebersold series, and these ones here are those that I find the best and most usuful for beginner and intermediate improvisers.
