Breaks in songs

#1 Post by tdub » Mon Jul 09, 2007 6:22 am

I will be teaching a musicality class next month and am starting to assemble a playlist for the class. One of the things that we'll be teaching are some specific moves that can be used to hit breaks on 1, 3, 5, and 7, and I'm trying to find songs that will complement this. Any suggestions about songs to use would be hugely appreciated! Thanks so much!

I will once again recommend "Smack Dab In The Middle" by Joe Williams and Count Basie off of Count Basie At Newport. Great breaks on 1 and 5.
