  • umm... call me crazy, but when I played along with this... I played C, F, D, G. explain your title.

  • It's not my title. Duke Ellington wrote C jam blues and if your playing more then two notes in the head then your not playing C jam blues. It's called C jam blues because it's written in C. Sheet music is in the description.

  • Our big band is playing this!:-D its the longer version tho. I have 2 improv on mah clarinet(or T-sax) from a certain measure 2 the rest of the song!:-/

  • In the bassline it seems like one of the notes is wrong, either the 4th or 5th one.

  • This is one of my favorite jazz tunes and the beauty of it is it is simply enough anyone can pick it up and learn it. I love this number. It's a treat to solo on too!

  • The title is correct and so is the music...The (Bb Eb and C) is not a chord progression. I belive it indicates Bb Eb and C instruments that can play along such as Trumpet, clarient and perhaps tenor sax...apologies if I am wrong

  • Hey,

    I use Sibelius 5 for all my projects but recently I've been using a midi converter to make the sound file. The instruments sound alot better now but i haven't tried it with swing yet. Thanks : )

  • Ah-ha! sorry, didn't look at the description. I was questioning the title of your video, not the song and was referring to the progression. So the Eb and Bb in the title are transpositions!!! (which technically aren't C Jam either if you think about it! ;)
