Oscar Peterson Quartet
What is a good Jazz Piano Solo I Can Play?
for jazz band, we have to mimic a jazz solo performed by a jazz artist (such as oscar peterson, bill evans, etc.) The problem is, It's hard to find the perfect jazz solo!! I want something "jazzy" and not boring. Also, something not super easy, but not too difficult either. (alot of oscar peterson's runs and scales are a bit over the top. lol) (something like Take 5, written by Paul Desmond, performed by Dave Brubeck's Quartet). Something "cool"
Thanks alot!!
