JJazzLab is a free and open-source application which automatically generates backing tracks for any song.
You type in chord symbols, select a rhythm (style), then JJazzLab generates a complete backing track with drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, strings, etc. JJazzLab can read Yamaha style files, which gives you access to thousands of free styles.
JJazzLab creates realistic and non-boring backing tracks, which can be easily customized even for complex songs.

JJazzLab's answer:
As a jazz/funk pianist I have tried most of the auto-accompaniment or backing tracks apps (Band In a Box, etc). They are good indeed and I had some fun at first, but I quickly got frustrated: I missed the intensity dynamics which help develop interesting solos. I was aware that a program will never match a real band, but I had a few ideas how to do better. That’s why I decided to start developing JJazzLab.
