JC 2015: Week One

What a fantastic first session--we have five combos ready to play! It's going to be a fun and rewarding summer. Make sure you have our Sea Jazz Performances on you calendar 7/29 and 8/19 from 5:00 - 8:00 at the outdoor stage behind Anthony's in downtown Edmonds.

Here is a recording of the Mingus song "Nostalgia In Time Square" that we learned last week. Review the two sections of the melody and work on composing/improvising your own melodic variations.



Here are the chord changes from this recording:

Eb7 Db7 | Eb7 Db7 | Eb7 Db7 | Eb7 Db7 |
F#m7 B7 | F#m7 B7 | Eb7 Db7 | Eb7 Db7 |
Cm7 F7 | Bbm7 Eb7 | Abm7 Db7 | Eb7    |
