The Constable (Mr. PC)

This is a fast jazz minor blues jam track in C minor at 220 BPM based on the chord structure of “Mr PC” originally written by John Coltrane. This play along backing track is in a jazz trio setting featuring Benjamin Harrison (benharrison.com.au) on piano and double bass, and Ben Todd (bentodd.com.au) on drums.

The Ben’s Jam Tracks: Jazz Sessions jam tracks were recorded with an emphasis on creating an organic dynamic flow that builds during the duration of the track with tasteful rhythm and comping parts that support soloing over the chord changes without getting in the way and a stylistically appropriate ending/tag as you would find playing with a live jazz trio.

You can also buy versions of this track ‘For Drums’ to practice your jazz drumming skills, ‘For Bass’ to work on your jazz walking bass line construction and ‘For Piano’ to practise your jazz piano comping and soloing. These alternate versions are a fantastic tool for improving your time feel and practising your rhythm section accompaniment.

Please note that 'For Piano' track versions may still contain backing pads/chordal elements and the 'For Drums' track versions will often still contain percussion elements/part (claps, shakers, congas, etc.).
