Year 11: Jazz

By -

Hi Year 11,

We spoke about the 12 bar blues in Jazz, and about how easy it is to hear once you are used to how the progression sounds. Below is a Spotify playlist to demonstrate what I mean. Listen to these tracks, enjoy them, and try to identify where the 12 bar blues starts and finishes. I will add more tracks over the coming weeks.

Any questions please come and see me. I promise not to blabber on too much about jazz.

Mr. Guinane

Enjoy!
