Program Notes

Based on a blues progression, this simple, yet memorable melody will provides a comfortable setting to begin teaching improvisation to your developing band students. The flute melodic lead takes the listener back in time to the sound of "cool." Combined with the vibes, it's the 1960's jazz scene all over again. Your students will be playing this melody all day long as you develop teaching strategies on many different levels.
