Description
With over 300 professional, royalty-free backing tracks performed by 21 of the world’s finest musicians, Jazz300 is the ultimate play along for musicians of all levels built on the very latest mobile audio tech. And NOW following a major update, you can mute ANY main instrument in ANY of the tracks.
Play along to 326 stunning tracks from the world’s most coveted artists including: 12-time GRAMMY® nominee Kirk Whalum (Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross); 7-time Billboard #1 Chris Standring; jazz impresario Jason Rebello (Sting, Jeff Beck) and drum legends Chris Coleman (Babyface, Prince) and Ralph Salmins (Burt Bacharach, Paul McCartney).
Jazz300’s unique content spans jazz, blues, soul, funk and pop, and there’s a powerful search function so you can easily find the kind of music you’re looking for.
Change key on the fly. Speed up or slow down the music seamlessly and in real-time.
Animated chord charts and full screen chord diagrams for Piano, Guitar and Ukulele cover every track and help you learn how to play new chords and improve your skills.
Loop sections of music and slow them right down for practice.
Add the tracks you like best to ‘Favourites’ and create multiple ‘Playlists’ and set the order you want them to autoplay.
Plus, all the content in Jazz300 is royalty-free so you can play it anywhere and use elements of any of the tracks in your own music (commercially or otherwise) with just a few legal restrictions.
Export any track quickly and easily as a stereo audio file. Or get the full multitrack version delivered to you as a GarageBand project with the musical parts separated - great if you want to remix a track, add your own instruments or develop it further (requires a low-cost in-app purchase).

Ratings and Reviews
Can really recommend …
Quartet 1 was recommended to me and, having tried it out for a couple of weeks now, I can really recommend this app to anyone who wants to improve their playing of the jazz classics or for live work. There are a whopping 150 standards in this app, so plenty to choose from! As a pianist, I like the playlist function, this will be useful for grouping certain songs together depending on the venue/audience/mood. A few of my favourites aren’t in this app, but hopefully they will be in a future release. Quartet 2?
For me - disappointing
I have all the previous Session Band apps and I rate them highly. In writing new songs it’s great to be able to quickly enter - and amend - chords and to hear the result played in different styles. I don’t think the blurb makes clear enough that this is NOT an app like that. This is simply a list of tracks (a lot to be fair) played (largely using Session Band loops and some over dubs) against pre-arranged chord charts. You cannot amend the chords. To use the sounds in your own compositions involves exporting the song (extra cost involved in exporting the tracks individually) and then cutting and pasting. Far too long winded for the results obtained - especially if you already have the Session Band apps). This app is only of use for playing along to and there are plenty of (cheaper) alternatives. Personally, I found the tracks pretty repetitive without much variation - but some will value that for playing along too. So, professional sounds but, for me, disappointing.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for reviewing Jazz300. Sorry you're not as happy with it as you are with our SessionBand apps and we are glad you rate them highly thanks. We have tried to make a distinction between our two brands Jazz300 and the SessionBand series. They are aimed at two different audiences: Jazz300 we describe as the 'ultimate play along' and SessionBand much more about 'creating your own studio quality music to the chords you choose'.
Our focus with Jazz300 has been on developing features that enhance the user experience of a play along like the real-time tempo and key functions and the animated chord diagrams. With SessionBand our focus has mainly been on offering users an increasingly wider choice of chord variations for creative song writing.
We will take on board your comments and look again to making a clearer distinction between the two apps and reminding folks that you cannot change the chord sequences in Jazz300 like you can in SessionBand unless you do it via the in-app purchase. Thanks again
Disappointing!
Currently I have all the session band apps and use them for both practice and teaching everyday. It wasn’t clear to me that you can’t edit chords like the other Session Band apps, my mistake I guess for taking it for granted that this would be similar. It’s not, and it’s nowhere near as useful to me anyway. I’d like to see the chords made editable, to create your own set of chords and to be able to apply different styles to your own chord progression.
