Work Overview
Moonwater is a 12 bar minor blues. It has a stop chorus to keep things interesting for beginning improvisors. There is a sample bass line, sample piano comping patterns and sample solos available for this chart. Parts can be doubled if needed. A 12 bar blues is a staple part of any jazz repertoire. A lot of fun can be had learning this form.
