Jazz Vamp

A vamp is a repetitive chord progression that allows you freedom to improvise. This one is in 6/8 time. Many of your possible melodic and rhythmic choices are contained within the harmony and movement of the piano vamp. Keep listening for variations in the piano part as you sing. Feel the swing that accents two and four and creates a travelling motion/groove in the music.
