Jazz Backing Track - Footprints

Play along of "Footprints"

[@anthonynalker2247]

If anyone cares, the musicians on this are: Steve Fidyk, drums, Jim Roberts on bass, and me, Tony Nalker on piano. We recorded this at Bias Studios in Springfield, VA for the Hal Leonard Jazz Playalong series 10+ years ago, produced by Mark Taylor (the series now has close to 200 books).

Wow nice

[@sryravnsfan]

This is the best footprints practice track on KZbin!

[@leftyjazz7269]

For serious players by (very) serious players. No machines, real jazz backing at last. Good to feel like in a jam during lockdown! Your channel & playing is a marvel (Mister Grant and MrSunnybass are also great) My guitar loves that. Thanks again from Paris.

[@spencercook4857]

I agree. The last chorus before returning to the head goes so hard. It always pushes me to go out of my comfort zone and try new and out ideas. love it!

[@BEARGUITARJAZZ]

Killer bass work on the turn arounds, the well runs deep, super track, extremely good drumming, yeah !!

[@espr7564]

Eagleheart always great quality thanks guys 👍😎

[@3dge--runner]

that is so great to play over so many play along tracks are dumb down and don't sound like to have a real band behind them and I understand that people want to learn but once you're proficient it's great to have play alongs like this that actually sound like the actual syntaxical structures along with the semantics that constitute the language of jazz

[@Evertruth28]

The best backing tracks I heard on KZbin other than Aebersold

[@chasmurphy1227]

loved it bro I just went off

[@silvano9bruno508]

[@EagleheartJazzChannel]

You are welcome :)

[@hellitastenfan]

Hello, it´s a great teamwork and good sound. greetings

[@EagleheartJazzChannel]

Thank you

[@DihelsonMendonca]

Could you upload all these wonderful standards without the piano part, please ?

[@MichalidesMUSIC]

ok, best footprints on youtube :) finally!

[@yashagemsofjazz4479]

16 bar intro

[@volenbolen]

great backingtrack, thank you !

[@terrancegreen3491]

Is there a possibilty to get this track without the Piano? This would be awesome for me to play at my gigs

[@nathleflutiste]

Glad to find your video again ! I was wondering why the backing I have used for my cover of Footprint has suddently disappeard. You version is the best I've found (or at least it's the one that fits the best my tenor recorder sound).

[@dannyconnolly4699]

do you know what those beautiful chords are in the middle of the song that run down thank you for any help

[@nathleflutiste]

Well at the moment no, I would need you to precise the exact time when it happen, also since I'm not a keyboard player, I won't be able to tell exactly if it is a major, a minor, a 7 or anyhting else.

[@BEARGUITARJAZZ]

F#m7b5 / B aug / Em7b5 / A aug as written by the amazing mind of Wayne Shorter

[@magusatx]

Love this version, though it sounds to me like they might just be using the Real Book changes (D7/Db7) and not the original...closer to what you posting, but have been seeing a lot of posts that say original is E7 Alt, instead of the Em7 b5?

[@burricanecarter]

@@BEARGUITARJAZZ This is not what they are playing though, the turnaround they are playing is 1 bar E-7, 1/2 bar Eb7 and than D-7 Db-7 quarter bar one measure.

[@AlexPriceMusician]

This is perfect

[@josipbezic7102]

👌

[@bobbymobay]

Love the performance....but uhm....is there an additional 8 bars added to the head presentation? I count 32 bars then it goes back to 24 bars for the solos (not counting the intro).

[@bernarddaigle2830]

The intro is 16 bars. 8 bars bass + 8 bars piano

[@CyanKash]

Yes thank you

[@maliluha]

Who are the awesome musicians? Why no names?

[@anthonynalker2247]

Steve Fidyk - drums Jim Roberts - bass Tony Nalker - piano And thanks!

[@maliluha]

@@anthonynalker2247 Wow! Great playing Tony! Thank you for the awesome music! I love playing with these tracks!❤

[@dexterjacobleeweijin4021]

Hi, what's are the modes to use for improv for this? I'm new to jazz.

[@LUMMUSIC]

For the intro (till 0:24) C minor natural or C blues. On the first four measures of the theme, C minor natural or C blues, on the next two measures F minor natural or F blues, then back to C for two measures... and then it's complicated I'll let you find what sounds good because there is no mode I think hahahah!

[@fedeambroa3669]

a cuantos bpm esta esto?

[@dannyconnolly4699]

any one know the chords this group used in there version great

[@connorsobieri245]

danny connolly I’m fairly sure it is just the original key of the standard... If you have the first volume of the real book it’s in there, and if not you can probably find it online... I believe they are playing a concert C minor 7 as the first chord in the head if that is any help...

[@3dge--runner]

Is the original key but there's a lot of force voicings and substitutions with minor major chords (melodic minor/harmonic minor) here and there. It is in the key of c though

[@LUMMUSIC]

How long is the intro? I can’t figure it out :(

[@jyryhalonen4990]

ends at 24 seconds

[@LUMMUSIC]

Jyry Halonen Thank you so much!

[@jyryhalonen4990]

@@LUMMUSIC glad I could help

[@leftyjazz7269]

Count eight 6/8 measures then go for the theme.

[@javidelatorre9579]

Hi! Thank you very much for this backing tracks. I use this play along for study and i have upload and video right now in this link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqCVkoh8osZ2m5o I hope you don´t mind that I have taken your play along. I show my gratitude in the description of the video. A greeting from Asturias, Spain.

[@EagleheartJazzChannel]

Thank you..

[@voodoochile68686]

What is thissss

[@patshep68]

i'm sorry, the form is a mess, it's a 4 bar intro/ then you play the turnaround late?

[@jacuhb8445]

It is an 8 bar intro in 6/8 and the rest of the tune is the same

[@jamescandela7304]

Clearly some really nice playing here. The keyboard part is impressive, but it detracts from this as a backing track. It’s way over played for someone to solo over. Nice chops though

[@3dge--runner]

I disagree with you on that I love the substitutionsthen voicings that this pianist plays it makes it like an actual performanceand feels like I can actually play off of them wear as a basic play along is Wade dumb down and never feels like I'm talking with the musicians

[@OrcaTrumpet]

Go with it
