Quartet 5 (Christmas)

Practice and perform Christmas standards on another level with this special Christmas edition of Quartet – the top-selling live jazz standards play along app.

Volume 5 includes over 50 stunning Christmas standards recorded in various jazz styles exclusively by 5 of the world’s best jazz musicians. All live studio recordings with intros and endings.
Whether you play jazz piano, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, bass, drums…simply mute your instrument from the Quartet for the ultimate Christmas jazz play along. And for jazz singers too, each edition of Quartet is an unrivalled collection of jazz backing tracks powerful enough to gig with.

Change key on the fly. Speed up or slow down the audio seamlessly using the very latest audio technology. Loop sections and slow them right down for practice.

Improve your skills with full screen animated chord diagrams for Piano, Guitar and Ukulele.

With the updated ‘Search+’ feature, you can build multi-app playlists using any of the songs from any of the 5 editions of Quartet that you own. Playlists are automated and auto-sync across each of your Quartet apps.

And once you’ve got songs just the way you want them, export the stereo mixes in seconds (free) or export the multitrack to remix or develop the separated parts in whatever DAW you use (each multitrack is delivered to you as a GarageBand project via a low cost in app purchase). Either way, all 52 recordings are offered to you royalty-free, giving you endless creative possibilities.

The 52 Christmas standards in Quartet Volume 5 include jazz improvisations in the style of… ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’, ‘Auld Lang Syne’, ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’, ‘The Christmas Waltz’, ‘Deck the Halls’, ‘Ding Dong! Merrily on High’, ‘Frosty the Snowman’, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’, ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, ‘A Holly Jolly Christmas’, ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’, ‘It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year’, ‘Jingle Bell Rock’, ‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’, ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’, ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’, ‘Santa Baby’, ‘Silent Night’, ‘White Christmas’, ‘Winter Wonderland’…and 32 more.
