Really impressive game! visuals are stunning and everything works very smoothly.
As a jazz musician myself I loved hearing these classic tunes that inform so much of modern jazz. I personally would change some of the start and end points of the songs, I think it's better to start on beat 1 of a bar most of the time to hear each full melodic line. Apart from that I really can't fault this game, it's fantastic in concept and execution.
Our game uses jazz elements too, we'd appreciate you checking it out!

Thank you for the thoughtful and kind feedback! It's always great to meet fellow Jazz musicians!
Honestly, not starting on beat 1 was a design decision. My focus was to start at the beginning of a phrase, even if that meant starting in the pick ups. I figured it would help out non-musician players who might not have a running metronome in their heads like we do :P
You don't happen to have an HTML5 build of your game do you? I'm on a mac..
