February’s Play Jazz! Workshop will take an in depth look at the Cy Coleman tune ‘Witchcraft’. With its haunting melody and subtle chord movements, Witchcraft offers huge scope for improvisation and provides an insight into many of the common chord
movements found in other standards.
We’ll learn to play the tune, break down each section and explore all of the changes in astep-by-step approach, gaining confidence and understanding as we go. We’ll then go on to arrange the tune for the ensemble, looking at the various roles of the instruments,
texture and dynamics.
This will be a practical workshop, with lots of opportunities to play, explore, discuss and enjoy!
