Jazz backing and karaoke music is arguably one of the more specialised sounds produced. The jazz track you sing or play along with must be of an extremely high quality. Jazz karaoke music will probably on the whole, be of a lesser quality than a professionally produced jazz backing track.

What is the difference between professionally produced backing tracks and karaoke in relation to jazz music? The difference overall is simple. Karaoke music is usually produced for overall consumption by the general public and these days is often associated with "pub karaoke nights or parties". In order to produce a professional and rounded end product you should seriously consider backing tracks as opposed to karaoke.

Hearing the track before you purchase and selecting the most suitable key. Unless you have very high quality karaoke equipment, you will find it more viable and economical to search for backing track companies who will provide a first class demonstration free of charge. Preferably this will be via instant download. This serves two purposes. One you are able to hear the quality before purchasing. (Always bear in mind that a 30 second free demo will be of lower quality than the full version. This is to enable a quick download of the track for demonstration purposes). Two, you will if you choose a reputable and professional backing track supplier, be able to hear the song in different keys. This will enable you to choose the correct version before purchasing and making the final recording.

One final note. whether you sing or play lead in jazz or any other area of music it is vital should you wish to produce a high quality final recording that you use high quality backing. There are many sites providing such products but always bear in mind the time and cost in ordering before hearing a sample. Not only are you possibly missing out on obtaining the track in the correct key for your voice, you may also be ordering a track of poor or inferior quality. Should this occur, not matter how good your voice or musical ability is you will not produce a high quality final recording.
