HOME INFO ABOUT LINKS PIRACY CONTATC

PlayJazzNow.com was started in 2006 by Chicago bassist Bill Harrison. The demise of the jam session and the explosion of interest in jazz education at the high school and college level fueled his desire to create a site that would be useful to jazz players of all levels. After more than thirty years as a jazz player and teacher, Bill was frustrated with the lack of flexible play-along recordings that could be used by musicians to hone their skills as accompanists and soloists.

PlayJazzNow.com is designed to provide great sounding, fun and affordable backing tracks for all instrumentalists and vocalists. Enjoy!
