This well-known melody begins with a moderate Latin feel around 126 BPM then the groove changes into an accessible rock beat. St. Louis Blues arranged by Victor López is easy to teach and play with trumpet 1 range up to written D fourth line. Add the written alto solo, auxiliary percussion, optional flutes, clarinets, and vibes and you've got a winner. (3:02) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
