krw87 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'm competing as a soloist at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival next week, but haven't decided on one of the songs I'll perform yet. I'm looking for something in a blues progression, and a heavy back beat. Also, I want it to have some strong tempo changes from ballad to medium or up tempo. If anyone has ANY suggestions please respond quickly... I'm running out of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardbopjazz Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 (edited) How about "Swingin' till the Girls come home" by Oscar Pettiford. This is a great swinging blues number. Edited February 18, 2005 by Hardbopjazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
