Whoah dude
My ensemble instructor gave us a tune to learn last week called “Dizzy Atmosphere”, written by Dizzy Gillespie in the late 40’s. I didn’t really have a chance to look at it or listen to it till now, and uhh, yeah, good luck to us. It’s a REALLY fast bop tune (around 220 bpm) with really slick little triplet licks all over the place. I’m not even sure I’ll be able to comp the chords fast enough! (No less play the melody or improvise over the changes.) Oye!
Yeah, so good luck to me.
