First Ride

Modal jazz has played a big role in the development of the art form, and this haunting straight-eighth groove chart with a mostly legato melody is the perfect introduction to this important style. Colorful lines and harmonies are featured here with the very flexible instrumentation which works for groups of all shapes and sizes. Anyone can solo with the provided scale sheets on only one scale, or the suggested solos included in each part. First Ride will help young jazz players on their journey!
