The Saints - from Early Jazz Classics For Strings Volume 1

Distilling five years of work with Knights of Jazz String Band, The Saints is excerpted from Early Jazz Classics For Strings, Volume 1. Arranged in an authentic “hot jazz” style, the meticulously edited parts are suited for Level 2.5 string players. Playable by any combo of string instruments, this is a “Full Flex Arrangement,” with melody, harmony and bass lines included for all instruments. The familiar melody lends itself to “melody-based improv,” — the best approach for beginning improvisors. Chord symbols are included so guitarists and pianists can easily jam along. History and lyrics provide context and enable deeper learning. “Beginning Bass Lines” on (mostly) open strings let beginning string players join in the fun!
