Backing tracks, of course, have some justification. To demonstrate something, for learning and teaching etc.
However, I prefer to play WITH living people.
Instead of TO "dead" backing tracks.
Backing tracks do not listen to what people are playing - they are indifferent if someone wants to change tempo, e.g.
Even if there are "only" lead instruments (lead guitar, woodwind, brass) in a session, then there is always our own living heartbeat to work with, so to speak. Much better than a "dead machine", as a backing tracks in a way is.
