Honeysuckle Rose Backing Track Jazz – This jazz theme is a welcome addition to any jam session. Practice it with our Backing Track.

“Honeysuckle Rose” was composed in 1929 by pianist Fats Waller, with lyrics by Andy Razaf. This theme served as the basis for Charlie Parker’s famous theme “Scrapple from the Apple”. However, it is important to note that, although it may seem like it, the bridge of “Honeysuckle Rose” is not the one traditionally used in rhythm changes, but rather a I7-IV7-II7-V7 progression.

This song has been performed by great singers and instrumentalists, among them we can mention Fletcher Henderson, Mildred Bailey, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Ben Webster, Benny Carter, Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, Django Reinhardt, Stéphane Grappelli, Earl Hines, Charlie Christian, Bucky Pizzarelli, Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Lester Young, Louis Jordan, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O’Day, Jane Monheit, Eva Cassidy, Lena Horne and many others.

This track can be found in “The New Real Book vol.2” on page 134.

This backing track consists of drums, bass guitar and piano. The tempo is 160bpm.
