Jam on Top was commissioned by Thomas Wittig for the Forest Lakes Elementary School fifth grade band, under the direction of Amy Thornsen, in memory of beloved music teacher, Mr. Dominic (Nick) Selvi. Nick had a passion for jazz and loved playing the style with his students. This piece is written in a standard blues chord progression (with courtesy accidentals written to introduce the blues scale) and can be performed in a straight rock or a swing-jazz feel. Special care should be taken to play all articulations to ensure the proper style. Nick was a saxophonist, and m. 39 could feature a solo, duet, trio or a saxophone soli section. In addition, mm. 39a50 could be opened up to have multiple soloists perform the solo in the style of an open jazz vamp. The drum parts are written for multiple players or could feature one player on drum set and the others improvising on accessory instruments such as cowbell, shaker, tambourine, etc. It is my hope that the performers will use this piece learn about blues chord progressions, blues scales in a pop, rock or jazz style.
