Jazz loops embedded – slow tempos

Some good slower tempo jazz practice loops. All maintain a pretty consistent triplet feel, no one’s double timing his cymbal beat. Forms on most of these are 12 bar blues, except Stella By Starlight is a 32 bar tune, sort of an A (16) B (8) A¹ (8). Some of them lean into shuffle feel, which you can do, I use them for my straight jazz materials.
