LISTEN to "Gospel John" and these other great recordings by Maynard Ferguson, Stan Kenton, and Doc Severinson!!! These tunes should get you pretty fired up to play some jazz...they are smokin' and fun to listen to (and play)!
"Cruisin for a Bluesin"
"Maynard Ferguson Hit Medley"
"Malaguena"
"In The Mood"
Click on this link to hear the version of "Gospel John" that we are rehearsing in band!
Wow its really cool that we are attempting big band jazz numbers it seems like a challenge to translate the free form style of gospel john into something that is structured and timed.
I heard all of these songs before and they all remind me of southern baptist churches. I agree it won't be so much playing notes but feeling the music. I thankful that it's really easy to remember!
