Young Prodigy Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Well, my High School's talent show auditions are coming and I'm thinking about making a jazzy-rock band, so I don't have to perform solo during the talent show. Basically I want a few suggestions for songs of that particular style, that have good guitar, saxophone and/or brass parts, that will also please the audience. The reason I want to know this, is because before I make the band, I want to have a pretty good idea of what we're playing, plus, when asking people to join the band, I don't want to look like I don't know what I'm talking about. Once I know what songs we're going to play, making a band really shouldn't be hard since I know several people in concert band that would probably be interested in this sort of thing, I myself will be playing the guitar leads. If you're confused by what I mean by jazzy rock, I mean, songs that use jazz based instruments, but also have an upbeat, rock sort of sound, I don't really know a good way to describe it.

A global moderator like yourself should know that and if you didn't want such long titles, you should of just adjust the ammount of letters that can be in a post, it's not a big deal.

Mike Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Joe Satriani? And please, there is no need to discipline Letehn. :happy: EDIT: Actually on second thought I'm not sure whether Joe Satriani makes use of brass or saxes. Still, it's kind of Jazz-Rockish in places.

Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 If you can have also a keyboard and bass part, I recommend a song called "The People Show" by The Briars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallz Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 There's always ska but that's hardly jazz-inspired... it is a crowd pleaser though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
