Creative Rhythmic Concepts for Jazz Improvisation: Demonstration Composition

A demonstration composition and audio clip from the book Creative Rhythmic Concepts for Jazz Improvisationby Ronan Guilfoyle (© 2000 Newpark Music).

Demonstration Composition: "What's This?"

Based on the old standard "What is This Thing Called Love", this is a rather complex piece which uses constantly changing metres and some altered changes. There is some use of metric modulation by the rhythm section in bar 5 of the melody. This bar also uses some quintuplets in groups of 4.
