Bill Bailey
Now, this time I just wanted to give some air to my instruments and play a simple (nothing is simple in jazz, let’s rather say uncomplicated) tune to see what it makes.
If someone wants to learn and practice playing traditional jazz with solos and collective ensemble improvisations, this could be the third tune to work with. Start with the blues, and after that a 16-bar theme like Careless Love or When the Saints, then take this. Bill Bailey has 32 bars and a harmonic structure that we find in many songs, for example, in the last theme of Tiger Rag.
