Triple-Hip! Take an old standard Dixie style tune from the 1920's, slowit way down and then re-harmonize it with interesting new chords and la id-back rhythms. Next add tasty written-out piano licks and rhythm section parts and let it simmer for a few rehearsals. What you will end up with is an incredibly hip chart that is perfect for any concert or contest situation. Ranges are modest but it'll take a while for your students to get that "laid-back" feel just right, but when you do, watch out, because this chart is dynamite!! Very highly recommended!
