So What's Up?

This modal chart will engage your rhythm section and is a terrific solo vehicle. Clearly marked rhythm section breaks are a key part of the melody, helping to teach this important skill to the rhythm section players. So What's Up? features a call-and-response melody, development, and has an open solo section. Anyone can solo using the provided scale sheets or the suggested solos included in all parts. Part of the First Place for Jazz Series, this one is played at a medium tempo, swings like crazy, and is playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentations.
