“Diane’s Faux Pas” by Peter Kienle offers wonderful opportunities for students at all levels to work on traditional jazz concepts while focusing on a medium tempo groove. This New Orleans second line tune features a characteristically groovy feel that rhythm sections can bite into, with a melody that draws from the blues. Chord changes that echo rhythm changes engage improvisors and comping instruments at any level. It’s a great tune for exploring the ever-evolving tradition that is the New Orleans second line!
