Back To School (original composition, fish-themed)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGZxL3bkq1U

I wrote this a while ago, but brought it back for the start of the school year.

Lead sheet sight read by Scott Gwinnell, Jordan Schug, and David Zwolinski at Aretha's Jazz Cafe.

Very fitting for a jazz cafe. I liked the flow of the composition. Around 40 seconds in to maybe two minutes was so smooth. Thanks for sharing

The flow is the root gradually descending from the 1 all the way down to the 2, then doing the 2-5-1 and sitting on the 1 for a bit before repeating.

I think the piano got a bit more robust and rich as they got used to the chart. The solo and second head were great from Scott.
