Rock 'n' Roll Party!
Watch on YouTube:
It's 1950's swingtime! This is my composition for flute and piano - or backing track.

It also sounds fine as an unaccompanied flute solo.

I've based it unashamedly on the 12-bar blues chord sequence.
Put on your blue suede shoes, grab your partner and get down on the dance-floor!!

Have fun folks!! There's even a chance to improvise along to the chords from section A to B.

It emerged as a defined musical style in the United States in the early to mid-1950s, evolving from the rhythm and blues music of the 1940s, which itself developed from earlier blues, the beat-heavy jump blues, boogie woogie, up-tempo jazz, and swing music.

It was also influenced by gospel, country and western, and traditional folk music.
