Edwin’s Jazz Jam
I was incredibly nervous when I attended my first jazz jam session as a drummer, and then years later as a pianist. I didn’t really have a way to “practice” playing in a live jazz situation outside of school combos and ensembles. Sure, I used YouTube backing tracks, but most of them are computer-generated and don’t “swing” the way a jazz performance should. So, I created this channel as a resource for all jazz enthusiasts, from beginners to seasoned players.
My channel is a library of play-along backing tracks of the many tunes and standards you might encounter during a jazz jam. I’ve personally recorded all the instrumentals - no AI or computer-generated performances allowed here!
You’ll hear the fluidity, imperfections, and fluctuations that make the tracks swing. My hope is that these tracks will inspire your practice sessions! Thanks for letting me be a part of your jazz journey. Keep swingin’!
