Music Camp With Lumpy: Jazz Standard Playalongs

12 bar blues, as in Route 66 or any other 12 bar blues. Eb Major at 140 bpm. Band shots in the middle chorus at the usual places. Extended to 5 additional chorus repeats so students can practice playing the MELODY and/or SOLO, this time with a LATIN feel.

If you want to learn this stuff in person, and you're in Phoenix, I'm over here - www.LumpyMusic.com

Practice your instrument!..:-)

Bobby Troup's classic variant on 12 bar blues. Piano, bass, guitar and drums. Several chorus repeats, intro and ending. Prepared originally for one of my vocal students. Obviously useful for anyone on any instrument wanting to practice MELODY and/or SOLOING.

Perhaps the most frequently called tune in any jazz jam. Harry Warren's Classic in the appropriate Real Book key, at a comfortably quick tempo of 165. This accompaniment play along track is designed for students to practice MELODY and SOLOing. Five trips through the chorus, with a couple of suprises here and there. One chorus is deliberately chord sparse so you can practice comping.

Practice your instrument. Thanks - Lumpy

Bluesette by Toots Thielemans, the quintessential jazz waltz. This version is designed for jazz students to practice MELODY and SOLOING over the changes in the real book. Chorus repeats ten times total. Song includes 8 bar intro and 3 outs ending.

May I suggest...Practice..:-)

This is the TUTORIAL for the Straight No Chaser play-along track.

The play-along backing track, without the tutorial comments and brilliant jokes, is at -

https://youtu.be/2arRntbEsCA

The same backing track is used in both podcasts. It's F blues mm=190, Piano, Bass, Drums and Guitar, five trips through the two part chorus.

Each time through the 24 bar section, the instrumentation changes. The piano and/or guitar comping will rest and re-enter, allowing you to practice the melody, the solo and/or comping. Very much like you'd do it on a real jazz gig.

I teach private music lessons in Scottsdale Arizona. Ping me at LumpyMusic.com.

This is the backing play-along track ONLY for Straight No Chaser.

There is a tutorial available at -

https://youtu.be/xZOKsHn5g4Y

It uses the same backing track along with my description of how I might approach learning, arranging or playing this tune.

Exactly what it's like in my private lessons with jazz students or like my own private practice sessions when I'm arranging for myself.

Swing Piano, Bass, Guitar, Drums. Five times through the 2 part chorus. In the middle of the arrangement, various instruments drop out and rest so the player can practice/demonstrate melody, solo, chord comping.

Designed for YOU to use at a stage band, college or high school audition. Feel free to use the track any way you like.

If there are other standards you'd like me to arrange, just let me know.

Thanks! - Craig Lumpy Lemke - LumpyMusic.com
