About this item
Here's an exciting opportunity to incorporate jazz into your classroom and concert hall with this medium slow swing chart. An optional drum set part really helps set the mood. An open solo section enables you to feature as many players as you would like, with optional backgrounds in the other parts. All players are given a sample solo along with a solo sheet on the back of their parts teaching them the basics of improvisation. In this case, the entire basis of the solo is a G Major scale, making for a positive experience for virtually any performer. Outstanding writing by a jazz violinist!
