Hey,
Always looking for new backing tracks? just type “Jazz backing track” on Deezer and here is what you get.
A lot can also be found on YouTube, but you know all that.
and I guess we can find some others also on Spotify.
Cheers,

If you are looking  for top quality backing tracks, you can visit Bobby’s Backing Tracks or (BBT) . Except the prices, it is a good source  for all types of tunes.
Also for more backing tracks,  Coffee Break Grooves is another place to go for. You will find nice cool jazz stuffs.
Obviously, do not forget Minus One MMO
and of course Hal Leonard
and Jamey Aebersold, my favorite of all times
