On the jazz side, you could look into the Music Minus One books (they have lead sheets with recordings of the rest of the band - minus whichever instrument you want to play) - think "Band in a Box" but on CD and non-adjustable. Be sure to buy the correct "minus" part (like minus the clarinet).

However, Bob Wilbur, Tim Laughlin, Evan Christopher, etc. had each teamed up with Music Minus One at some point (though it might be a little more difficult to find them now - they were pretty popular back in the early 2000s). Most of the songs aren't terribly difficult, but it is nice having the soundtrack to play along with - especially to practice improvising. If you're interested in them, but can't find them - you might try contacting Tim or Evan directly (via their webpages) to see if they can connect you up with some.
