Work Overview
This is a calypso in the style of a Sonny Rollins calypso such as St. Thomas. It has an easy solo section to accomodate beginning improvisors and a longer solo section for those with a little experience. It can be used as a classroom resource. There is a lot of room to double up on parts if needed. It has sample piano comping patterns, bass lines and sample solos.
