Need help for good playalongs

Hi guys,

just got a call for a little gig for Christmas time. I will play about 10 tunes alone with some jazz style playalongs as backups.

So here's the reason of this post: I already have most of the playalongs, but I'd like to get some suggestions for 2 tunes, first it's ''What a wonderful world'' and the second one is ''Smile'' from Charlie Chaplin.

I wish you'll help me to find some good stuff. If you know some short versions, I mean without 40 000 more bars for improvisation practise, you see....

Oh, and last but not least, no problem at all if the recordings are not free

Thanks in advance guys for your help !!!!!

JOE

The karaoke stuff on Spotify has a lot
of backing stuff. I know that Chaplin's "Smile"
is represented in at last 3-4 tracks

Joe - I've had great luck with play-alongs from the "Guest Spot" series. The lengths are just right (if I remember it's the tune - improvised chorus - tune),

Anyway, I'll let your fingers do the walking, but this'll get you started:
