Jamey Aebersold has been one of the premier names in books, sheet music, media and educational tools for musicians since way back in 1966. Aebersold was a jazz teacher, and one of his students requested a tape of piano recordings to give him something to practice along with. This sparked an idea in Jamey's mind, and before long he had completed his first ever "Play-A-Long" recording. Just like that, a brand was born.
Now, some 40 years later, Jamey Aebersold continues to lead the way in the jazz education world. Helping thousands of performers perfect their skills every year, Jamey Aebersold can give you the tools you need to be an impressive jazz musician.
