Rock Etude #17

This was one of many "rock etudes" composed by bassoonist and jazz pianist, Bill Douglas. Print out the music and then listen to either or both versions of the audio. The rhythms are notated very precisely and should be learned precisely - not just by rote listening (although you will need to listen to this a lot to get the sound of the syllables in your ear).
