Melodia Blues, a swinging composition by Peter
Kleine Schaars begins with a robust intro. Four
bars follow, which can be repeated ad lib. to
allow for an optional announcement (this is the
so-called VAMP). The blues theme follows along
with two written-out improvisations. These can be
expanded – depending on the resources within
your band. After a richly scored reprise of the
theme, the sparkling final chords close the piece in
style. Bring a great jazz feel to any concert with
this fine new work.
