“T’s Blues” is a hard hitting moderate shuffle with driving attitude. It’s an F Blues that gets students thinking about and playing triplets. Players need to be subdividing and feeling the groove because the triplet often omits the first, second, or third note of the grouping. Range is very comfortable for all parts. The comping patterns and sample bass lines are standard. The solo section is 12 straight bars and allows any of the musicians to improvise (the ending circle of 5ths can challenge more advanced players). This chart works for many different skill levels.
