Be sure to check out Aebersold's Volume 21 (Gettin' It Together) and Volume 54 (Maiden Voyage)

Maiden Voyage might be a bit much for a beginner, maybe at an intermediate level ok... Question

another thing you can do is get a program like band-in-the-box and punch in the chords of whatever songs you need to work on. don't know the chords of the songs you want to play???? LEARN THEM!!!!!
get a fakebook like "The Real Book-Sixth Edition" from Hal Leonard Publ.
the rhythm tracks that band-in-the-box comes up with may not be as good as the aebersold cd's but you'll spend less money on the program than you will, buying all the cds it takes to get all the songs you want.
