When the Saints Go Marching In Dixieland Jazz backing Track – Here the student will be able to apply their knowledge about this traditional theme of American music.

Although the roots of this song are religious, it was widely interpreted by jazz bands and, thus, ended up being better known as a traditional New Orleans jazz theme.

Louis Armstrong’s version was very successful when released in 1938, but we can highlight many other successful interpretations such as those by Judy Garland, Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Etta James, Bruce Springsteen, Wynton Marsalis, Charlie Byrd, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis and others.

This accompaniment is in E major, the student, even if he is a beginner, will have no difficulty improvising on this harmony, however it is important to pay attention to the E7 and Am chords, these will have intervals outside the E major scale. The pentatonic scale is a good choice, as are the triads and tetrads of each chord. With study and persistence it is possible to achieve a very fluid phrasing in the Dixie style.

This backing track consists of drums, tuba, piano, guitar and banjo. The tempo is 175bpm.
