My School Audition Video (3 0f 5) - “Oleo”
This tune contains the (probably) 2nd most widely used song structure (other than the 12 bar blues) in jazz referred to as Rhythm Changes. It originates from the song “I Got Rhythm” and consists of a 32 bar AABA form.
A little jazz 101 for you all out there so you might be able to do some active listening. And if you already knew all that, then good for you.
