Jazz Band

When we return from vacation, we will begin working on the following songs. Listen to them to get familiar with them. Our first meeting is Tuesday, February 27th - 2:10 pm to 3:00 in the band room.

​Here is a "BackTrack" to Blue Bossa. This plays the background music, and allows you to practice your part, and practice improvising over it.

BE SURE TO CLICK ON "Cm7" to have it play in the right key




And here is Moondance


Here is the newest version of moondance we just recorded. It has Dominic soloing in it.



This is the working model of "all blues" (just for practice)

Here is a youtube version of  "all blues" called a backtrack. It is for you to practice playing along with (it is already set up to play in the key of "G"


​This is "Take the 'A' Train", by Duke Ellington; Listen to the song to become familiar with it.
