Product Description

Immerse yourself in the timeless cool of Miles Davis's legendary jazz anthem, 'So What'. This essential Real Book arrangement, specifically tailored for Eb instruments, presents the iconic melody and chords for one of the most influential modal jazz compositions ever recorded. Set in a relaxed 2/4 time signature and designed for a tempo around 76 bpm, it captures the original's laid-back yet profound essence, making it a cornerstone for any serious jazz musician's repertoire.

Rated Intermediate, this transcription offers a rewarding challenge for musicians moving beyond the beginner stage. The complexity lies in interpreting the advanced chord voicings, clearly provided by the included chord symbols, which underpin the sparse yet evocative melody and hint at the famous walking bass line that defines this track. The minimalist melody, characterized by its short, memorable phrases and strategic use of rests, floats effortlessly over the implied harmonic landscape of F Minor and A Major, a hallmark of modal jazz. Perfect for jam sessions, dedicated practice, or a polished performance, this digital sheet music is an indispensable addition to any jazz musician's library, allowing Eb instrumentalists to confidently navigate the unique harmonic world of 'So What'.
