SessionBand Jazz 1

I have some requests: 1. Please add the ability to use several styles in one project (track). Thus it is possible to expand the dynamics and texture of the song and it will sound more different and interesting; 2. I bought all three parts sessionband jazz and i would like to be able to transfer the project file from one part of this app to another. It is VERY inconvenient to create the chord sequence again in each part of the app; 3. The endings in styles too short, which strips the composition of its logical conclusion; 4. I'd like to be able to open a wav file not only in certain programs or email, and all that can play wav files (i mean file managers such as File Hub) without a computer and iTunes. Thanks in advance!

Добавьте больше аккордов и надстроек! Очень мало!

Good app! If it is possible, add or correct jazz patterns for saxophone, because improvisation saxophone sounds bad! And if possible, please add a separate track patterns for piano!

Excelente para quem quer uma aplicação para trabalhar mais a sério. Requer conhecimento musical, mas tem grande potencial para gerar todos os acompanhamentos que alguém que toque jazz sozinho precise. Recomendo

These apps (I only have the Jazz versions) are awesome for laying down some chords to practice over. Its simplicity makes it simple to set something up for jamming along. Or just one chord forever...

I have so much fun practicing with these apps. I can make very useful templates to work out improvisational and technical skills. I highly recommend checking all of them out.

They make practicing almost more fun than the gig! Hope to see a lot more of them.

I’ve been using Jazz Session Bands 1, 2, and 3 for a few years now—bought them in a bundle. First off, I can unreservedly recommend these apps for any jazz players who like to create their own backing tracks. Each version—one, two, and three—contains styles that are vital for jazz, so *you are going to need all three!* (Can’t wait to get 4!) The sampling is very good, the sound realistic and dynamic, particularly on 2 and 3. But this app definitely has weaknesses as well as strengths. I especially like SB’s piano and drums—but I almost always mute the horns when I play over SB backing trax; very quickly the horn licks get predictable. And you can’t play without bass, obviously, but sadly SB’s bass does not sound anything like a real jazz bass player. Some styles have no walking lines, no nifty little 8th note pickups. The piano, on the other hand, is sparkling and realistic. The drums are outstanding. You can really personalize a track just with the use of drum fills. SB 3, in particular, has a great array of drum fills. Now for my critique. To me, one of SB’s weaknesses is that when you create a backing track with rapid harmonic movement—for example 4 chords per bar, using dominant 7ths or ii Vs, the changes sound choppy. On the other hand, the app shines over chords that are prolonged for 2+ bars. Another weakness is that you can’t create a form in one version, for example, SB 1, and then copy and paste it into a new document from one of the other versions, like SB 2. That’s a drawback, because it is laborious to create forms using this app. If it turns out that a form sounds crummy in one version, it’d be cool if you could export it to another version. Another weakness is that not all the chord extensions and alterations are available in SB 1, 2, and 3. (I understand they are all possible in 4, which is why I plan to get it!) If you like to play over pieces with lots of colors and extensions in the melody, it’d great to have the backing chords that put those colors on top. For example, there’s no minor 11 available, no dom 9, no dominant 7(#11). I would also really like to see a dom 7(13,-9) voicing. You can get around this, of course, by using changes that are consonant with those colors, but I do feel the chord voicings on 1, 2, and 3 are limited. To summarize, you can create some really nice stuff that’s fun to play over, using Session Band Jazz 1, 2, and 3. Get all three in a bundle, if possible. You’re going to want and n

I have all of the session band apps, as a songwriter I can always find tracks that fit the song I’m writing. Really wonderful apps. Very authentic, and natural, doesn’t sound like a computer, it sounds like real people playing. I highly recommend these apps if you’re a songwriter

Very nice apps. Dreaming about a kind of stop button with a sustain incorporated, and more looper markings.
