Derk’s Works is a modal blues chart for developing jazz bands. The main melody is set in a catchy Latin-rock groove and is contrasted by a recurring bridge passage in a swing style. A user-friendly solo section will enable many budding soloists to get involved. This chart is sure to be a hit with both the students and audience. Very impressive for this grade level!
