Jazz is the art of improvisation.

Contrary to popular misconception, the ability to improvise is not a spontaneous skill that arises out of nowhere.

It’s the result of listening, practice, study – and courage.

It’s not easy standing up in front of a room full of strangers and creating something “good” on the spot.

For over fifty years, Indiana-born Jamey Aebersold has been at the helm of a publishing enterprise that has smoothed this process for literally millions of people all over the world.

One of his innovations is the Play-A-Long, recordings that allow musicians to practice their improvisation skills without the need for a live rhythm section.

Everyone from beginners to well known pros uses them to keep up their chops up and advance their art.
