The creative use of the call-and-answer technique in this chart provides a great way to teach swing style and introduce improvisation which can be intimidating for young players. The basic chords used in this chart allow soloists to experience success by using any notes from the blues scale. Carefully written rhythm section parts are made as clear and easy as possible. Playable with both limited and expanded instrumentation, your rookie jazzers will enjoy musically texting each other when they play this fun tune! Two thumbs up for this outstanding beginning jazz chart!
