Backing Tracks Backing tracks for classic modern pop sax?

[ZeroZero]

Hi, I have traditionally used Aebersold and Band in a Box, but now I want to learn more contempory "pop" (ish) based stuff. This series, below on utube will give you a flavour of the material I am talking of. Does anyone know a source for the backing tracks he is using, they sound good? Both backinbg track and notation would be good but I want to avoid beginner simplified stuff. I am on tenor

@ZeroZero, you can also use YouTube in a legitimate way by shortening the link from Youtube.com to yout.com and it will strip the song of its video and give you the audio file in MP3 format as download.

I'm not sure that Yout is actually legit?

Stream-ripper Yout circumvents YouTube’s technical protection measures, court concludes

The US record industry has scored a win in its ongoing battle against stream-ripping – and, in particular, against the most bullish stream-ripping platform of the moment, good old Yout. A judge has concluded that Yout has failed to prove that it doesn’t circumvent ‘technical protection measures’ put

Was there an appeal?

like karate means empty hand.

What’s with all the feet and grunting then?

Yeah! It's like doing an unarmed combat course and still having to use your arms.

Yeah! It's like doing an unarmed combat course and still having to me use your arms.

Yeah, unarmed martial arts is for lazy people

 

[mizmar]

And unharmed martial arts is for pacifists.

Unharmed and unarmed are 'armless.

They are still up and running and YouTube did not find any issues with some of my recent uploads using the stripped MP3 versions. Maybe they just settled?

It's our educational system across the pond. Proper counting is optional.

Looks poorly. Did it cost £6?

It cost an arm and a leg.

They are based in Germany. I just noticed the statement,
Attention: We no longer ship to the USA and UK. Please check out our available delivery countries .

But back to topic, I think I have accumulated enough backing tracks for classical modern pop sax.

My stash of Jazz Play Along Books, both Jamey Aebersold and Hal Leonard with backing CD's. (Note, because the CD's are copyrighted, their contents are not for sharing, sorry ....)

 

[thomsax]

I shall be hunting particular solos. It's really the backing track that is critical. Are they downloadable? I keep a small device in my case and connect to a PA in a local studio which has no wifi.

Are you going to play pop and rock solos in the same style as they were played on the recording? Playing keys and grab your sax for short solo? If it's just a solo I don't think you need to download a whole song. Maybe I misunderstood the whole thing?

 

[thomsax]

Well, yeah. "Karaoke" is, largely, something people do as a drinking entertainment 'samatterofact.

If the business, Karaoke Versions Ltd/AS/Inc. decided to use that word in their brand they knew they'd be associating the product with drunk people having fun and singing variously well or badly.
I guess if they see a market amongst musicians their product manager has a choice; stick with the association, rebrand, have a second brand or such. Their choice.
But it's not the fault of the general public (us) if we smirk at the karaoke association and imagine people belting out I Will Survive My Way hoopy hoop

The guys I met on the "karaoke afton" were not drunk. They were having a good time. Maybe some beers or some glasses of wine. I don't think they were doing nothing wrong at all.

I never said it was wrong, Just an association people have. Including like you describe

I've lived in Japan. There, Karoke restaurants were a plenty. The Japanese are not afraid to sing even if they do not have a good singing voice. To them, it is fun and relaxation. And, although they offer drinks (sake, beer, hard liquor, etc.) you are correct, not all Japanese are drinkers. (A good number are health conscious.)

Depending on the size of party determines the size of private room. For my birthday party, one of my Japanese employees made the arrangements. There was about 8 of us. We ordered their hors d'oeuvres and non-alcohol drinks. (None of my employees nor friends with us were drinkers.) My wife liked the Okinawan food, a bit different than mainland Japan.

The sound system and video screens inside these rooms were fantastic. I've been to US restaurants that offer Karaoke, but nothing like these Japanese restaurants. One could choose to sing songs in either Japanese or English.

After a few pints they’re ‘armless and legless
