Jazz Walk

A leisurely tempo in 4/4 meter combined with a walking bass line and jazzy melody creates a fun and appealing solo. The flat third, sixth and seventh scale degrees are used generously in the melody. Staccatos, slurs, triplets and accents add to the character of the melody, all of which must be performed over a legato left hand for an effective performance.

This is a good introduction to jazz with lots of accidentals, accents, and dynamic contrast.
