Piece of Candy
Inspired by a student, the simple, singable melody for “Piece of Candy” popped into my head when they asked me about learning jazz scales and felt like a mental candy. The song is rated at advanced Intermediate-level because it requires some r.h. gymnastic fingerings when playing the harmony at tempo. The notes can be omitted to make the song easier to play though part of the fun is the rapid 1-5 to 2 shift that occurs. The bass line should be played with the bounce of an upright string bass. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed writing it!
