Greg's Groove

Based on the chord changes to Milt Jackson's jazz standard Bags' Groove, this swinging blues original for beginning groups features fun, infectious rhythmic figures and dynamics which grow from a whisper to a roar. The brass ranges are very accessible, with trumpet up to D5 and C4 for trombone. Rhythm section parts provide the drummer with a great concept of what to play, and fully notated piano voicings and bass lines are provided along with a guitar chord chart. The solo section is written or ad lib, with solo sheets provided in all keys along with scales to assist students in creating their own solos. Additionally, it's playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations. Here's a great teaching and performance vehicle for young groups!
