Hey guys,

For my Jazz and Pop Harmony class final I had to compose and record (in Garageband) an original over the changes in the song "I've Got Rhythm"

I did the whole thing this afternoon and while it isn't super clean, it works! I thought you guys might enjoy it, as it features our favorite instrument.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Golly, this is reeeeal smoooooth. It sorta sounds like a chill combo of "Salt Peanuts", "I Got Rhythm" and Lyle Ritz.

If this doesn't get high marks, I'll be super disappointed.

A+ in my book. With as many songs that use this progression, you've still come up with an original! I guess there's still plenty of gold in that mine, at least for those how know how to find it.
