What is this instrumental jazz tune, recorded live in the 1960's in a
club? The band had bass, drums, piano, clarinet, and horns. Players
soloed with a bass vamp.

Each note name is followed by its note value. 8 = eighth note, 4 = quarter note.
| = bar line        _ = tied note       . = dotted note

These are notes, not chords. The key of the tune in the notation below
is A minor, but the key of the actual recording might be different.
It's in 4/4 time, tempo about 140 bpm. Here is the bass vamp:

A8 C4 D4 B4 G8_ | _G8 A4. rest rest | A8 C4 D4 G4 E8_ | _E4 rest rest rest |

A8 C4 D4 B4 G8_ | _G8 A4. rest rest | A8 C4 B4 Bb4 A8_ |_A rest rest rest |

I can email an MP3 file of the tune's melody if you wish.	

Thanks very much,
brubart

brubart...

Google policies prohibit personal contact between researchers
and customers, so emailing the mp3 is not an option. You can,
however upload it to a free account (with 1GB free space!) at
eSnips, and make the folder public for the time being:

Can anyone identify the jazz tune after hearing it on esnips?
Thanks,

If you cast a wide net, someone might recognize your MP3. Good luck.

Wow, thanks Cribcage. I'll check out those sites. That's a big help.
