So, through my jazz studies, I've been looking after play-along tracks to practice my comping and such. I'd like to compile a list of tracks and albums that fall under this category. I've found some stuff already(mostly it's just duets with piano/bass or guitar/bass):

List:

Albums:
Terje Gewelt(with Christian Jacob) - Interplay
Terje Gewelt(with Christian Jacob) - Hope
Larry Coryell/Miroslav Vitous Quartet
Buster Williams(with Kenny Barron) - Two as one
Mike Melvoin - The Capitol Sessions
Spencer Strand - Turn it Up & Lay it down vol. 4. Baby Steps to Giant Steps.

Tunes:
John Riley(Art of Bop) - School days
John Riley(Art of Bop) - Last Week
John Riley(Art of Bop) - What is this thing called?
John Riley(Art of Bop) - October
John Riley(Art of Bop) - Satch & Diz
John Riley(Art of Bop) - Out in the Open


Feel free to suggest albums &/or tunes, and I'll add them to the original post.
 
Kenny Washington has one called Jazz Conceptions.http://www.amazon.com/Conception-Complete-Transcriptions-Played-Washington/dp/B0019QUUFO/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1385653996&sr=1-2&keywords=kenny+washington+jazz+conceptions

Peter Erskine has quite a bit of stuff out including apps for mac but this one is easier to load into a daw.https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/drum-play-along-vol-1/id337370724

The Vinnie Valentino stuff is one of my favorites! http://www.amazon.com/Play-Along-Jazz-com-For-Drums/dp/B0030DM0SO

Here is the drumless tracks to Billy Ward's "Out The Door".http://www.billyward.com/otd/

A couple drumless albums that swing like crazy and are fun to play to are Dianna Krall's "Love Scenes" and Roy Hargrove, Steven Scott and Christian McBride's "Parkers Mood".

Christian Mcbride has an album out that features just duos, him with various other musicians, no drums, I love playing along with some of the tracks, real swinging stuff.

That's McBride on Love Scenes too BTW:)
