1: Piano Jazz Etude

Please record this first, and then the piano comping exercise. If you wish to be considered for jazz
combo or big band jazz solo chair please also conclude your recording by improvising a solo melody over two
choruses of B flat blues. If needed, the blues chord changes can be found on the bottom of the guitar etude page.
