Hi
Does any one know any up beat fast jazz repertoire? I like Willie wagglesticks walkabout, maybe something like that?

If you're looking for up-beat, fast then try bebop, and if you're looking for bebop piano try Thelonious Monk.

NB, if you're looking for fully notated music it's really "jazz-style" rather than jazz. A jazz chart will typically have a "head" i.e. the tune which is often quite simple and very often just one stave with chord symbols above. The solos are the fast, showy bits and they're improvised, though I guess ou could try and buy a bool of transcriptions.

Hi, have you looked at Bill Evans Time Remembered which is in the Gd 7 alternative lists? The chord sequences are amazing.
