The title Lucky Seven is a play on the fact that portions of this piece are in 7/8 time grouped in 2+2+3. It gives it a really fresh groove as the piece floats in and out of this 7/8 riff into regular 4/4 time. There is even a nice solo section with a sample solo if some of your students want to take a stab at improvisation. Matt Turner always provides teachers with interesting alternative music that can teach students how to groove and improvise. This is an infectious piece that students will like to play.
