South Street Shuffle

This cool shuffle chart has many typical shuffle features including the high hat pattern for drums, the 1-6-5-6 pattern for bass, and the four measure lead-in to the solo section. It's also a great way to teach your band about trading twos. The ensemble trades twos many times throughout the chart, and there's a little twist in the structure of the 12-bar blues pattern and occasionally there's a 16-bar pattern thrown in for fun. The open solo section features a written tenor sax solo which can be played as is or improvised.
