Description: Slow Swing Ballad - Medium Easy

Please click here for sound/score video.

Soft and Easy is the perfect title for this laid back swing-ballad. This is a wonderful way to introduce young musicians to this iconic Basie style. Once your band can play an accent on the and of one and “fat” (not rushed!!) quarter notes on beats three and four they will be well on their way to sounding great playing music in this style.
