Here is a collection of ten loops for learning jazz tunes, sampled from albums, including several by Thelonious Monk. Each has the head played, then an equal number of choruses of soloing— one or two. Not all of them sound real pretty when they loop, but they are in time.
Tunes are:
*Rhythm-a-ning
*Bye Ya
*Doxy
*All Blues
Tenor Madness
Bolivar Blues
*Oleo
*Monk’s Dream
Think Of One
Dearly Beloved
* – Essential, you’ll definitely play them sometime in your first few years playing jazz.
Albums these are from include:
Thelonious Monk – Criss Cross – drums: Frankie Dunlop
Thelonious Monk – Monk’s Dream – drums: Frankie Dunlop
Miles Davis – Bags’ Groove – drums: Kenny Clarke
Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue – drums: Jimmy Cobb
Sonny Rollins – Sound of Sonny – drums: Roy Haynes
