AN ORIGINAL BY ANDY
THE STORY
A major-key ballad with chromatic jazz elegance
Exclusive Jazz Blues Ballad is a C major solo performed over a major turnaround followed by two II-V cadences. The harmony provides a sophisticated backdrop for lines drawn from the major pentatonic and Major scales. Chromatic passing tones connect chord tones and give the phrasing its jazz character, while the overall melodic shape remains smooth and lyrical. The balance of clarity and harmonic detail defines the piece.
