Description

The new way to practice jazz!
Genius Jamtracks, the play-along app for jazz musicians that thinks and plays like an actual trio.
With an impressively realistic sound and feel, it helps you build your repertoire, your jazz vocabulary and master polyrhythms.
Genius Jamtracks introduces "New Standards: 101 Lead Sheets by Women Composers" - a monumental publication and effort led by Terri Lyne Carrington, founder and artistic director of Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice.

“Genius Jamtracks is easily the best play along app out there! Particularly the piano voicings are more logical and realistic than other play-along apps. The bass and drums are not just a simple repetitive pattern, but actually use some jazz language. And it’s nice that you can make the band busy in unpredictable ways. As much like playing with a real group as you can get from an algorithm. Highly recommended!“
~ Paul Bollenback
“It’s like a jazz musician wrote it. The drums and piano are just like how a jazz drummer and pianist would play. Couldn’t be an easy task to create that!”
~ Steve Beskrone

- Why it sounds great:
It’s all in the dynamics, note durations, space and feel.
The Genius Jamtracks trio pays close attention to each of these elements to make the practice experience as close to the real thing as possible.
- A real swing feel!
Forget the robotic triplets of other play-alongs.
When changing the tempo, the app doesn’t simply play faster or slower, the swing feel changes as well. The app learned how to swing by internalising jazz vocabulary and playing based on real transcriptions from the masters.
- Actual voice leading!
No matter what your settings are, just press play and you’ll always have the same attention to voice leading from the pianist and the same effort in creating beautiful lines from the bassist to accompany you.

- Create your own songs with Genius Jamtracks using an easy and intuitive interface.
- Edit the charts for your favourite jazz standards however you like.
- Option to create your own playlists of songs.
- Custom fonts make for beautiful, easy to read chord charts.

- Rhythm Department:
Start with simple comping and work your way up to mastering superhuman polyrhythms!
Focus on a specific grouping, ratio, polyrhythm or rhythmic displacement. Ask the trio – or an individual instrument – to include only what you’ve requested when they introduce polyrhythmic phrasing.
As you won’t know when or how it will be used though, this feature also helps sharpen your reflexes as well as mastering that rhythm!
- Harmonic Level Selector:
Start with triads and work your way up to advanced substitutions and reharmonisation of the song.
- Voicing Selector:
Select your preferred voicing type directly from the new selector.
 
- Link Button:
When a song is opened, the app automatically selects the best voicings based on the song style. If the link is off, your chosen voicing type will be saved as the default.
- Time Placement
Fancy a ballad, or a straight-ahead swing? Give the trio a more powerful or loose feel.

Because I can’t give zero stars

naterelles on

United States

Your charts are wrong. And the rhythm section swings like an amateur Lawrence Welk band. The only people who play jazz like that anymore are baby boomers and nerds.

Feature request

This app is awesome . Here is my feature request: let me set it to cue the bar at any interval. For example I start out cuing every bar when I’m first learning to never lose my place. Then I cue every other bar to force myself to remember two, then every fourth bar etc until I don’t have to cue any!

Crashes all the time when editing

Please fix this it could be brilliant. Nothing worse than unreliable software.

Fun app but is crashing

The idea behind this app is great and I’ve enjoyed playing with it but it now keeps crashing :(

Keeps improving!

There was an issue with saving original progressions/tunes. This has been fixed and now the engine is doing its unique work on all kinds of novel harmonic progressions. Looking forward to more HALF TIME feels and variations on rhythmic displacement and more sophisticated bass lines. This is a game changing app the feels way more natural than the competitors. Great work!

Buggy!!

I saved three original tunes and after quitting the app when I reopened it they were all gone except for the last one I saved. I tried it all o we again and the same thing happened. Great app except for that FATAL FLAW.

An Amazing Gift to Every Musician!

What your app is able to do goes way beyond my expexpectations. And to think that it was just sitting on my iPad for over a year until I decided I needed to delete apps I never use and finally opened your Genius JT app. Since I started using it, I've opened up a whole world of inspiration for my improv skills and chops. The programming feats for multiple parameter variations are absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all your hard work and brilliant concepts-to-creation accomplishments...truly a gift to all musicians! A few suggestions: 1) Having an alphabet column displayed on either far side of the screen would make it easier to browse and quickly find songs beginning witha specific letter ( doable in the search field, but with a column they're just a touch away ) 2) Being able to rename a song is a surprising perc...would be helpful to have the current name appear in the renaming field to save having to retype the entire title from scratch. I've been putting numerals before songs I'm working on to move them to the top of the list and also for creating a "set list" for myself. 3) Adding a "sort by last played" would really be helpful.

Great App

Nevlim on

Works perfectly for my needs. I wish that it were either audio unit extension AU or inter-app audio so that it can be used with the AUM mixer on iOS.

Export

snucmill on

United States

No export? What a disappointment. Version 1.5 of 2017 was way better. I need a refund please. This app has gone backwards. Don't compare this app with iReal Pro. They are light years ahead, this app needs a lot of work if you are comparing it to iReal Pro. Not even a export midi or audio. Don't waste your money. Garbage.👎

Amazing!

nickelodeon62 on

I rated this app 5 stars, even though it needs a few improvements. The fact that both the rhythmic and harmonic complexity can be adjusted makes this app topnotch for creating the variations desired in a rhythm section. Instead of “AI” used to create the complexities of the rhythms and chord substitutions, I would call it “MI” for “musical intelligence.” This app needs the ability to transfer songs between devices and a few other tweaks, but I understand they are coming. I found that out when I contacted support about another question. A few more styles and a keyboard substitution (a B3 maybe?) would be great, but the basics are here already. Support is another reason I gave this app 5 stars. I got an immediate, helpful response to my inquiry, a real plus when getting an app.
