What to play on Footprints?
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:13 pm
Hi guys,
Just a question.
I've been asked at short notice to play 2 sets of (mostly) jazz this weekend.
We only had time for one (rushed) rehearsal last night, but one song that I'm not so familiar with is 'Footprints' by Wayne Shorter.
What would you play on a song like this? It has a kind of 6 feel to it but seems to sometimes fall somewhere between 6 and 4 time.
I can feel it with a swing feel also.
Your suggestions appreciated!
Pavlo
