Stella By Starlight Jazz Backing Track

This song was composed by Victor Young in 1944 to be part of a film production. It is one of the most popular jazz standards. It has been recorded by Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Stan Getz, Chep Baker, Bud Powell, Stan Kenton, Joe Pass, Bill Evans, Art Blakey, Dexter Gordon and many others.

This piece is aimed at advanced jazz students, as it presents a very complex harmony with numerous modulations. There are several major and minor cadences II-V-I, altered chords etc. The minor melodic scale, diminished dominant scale, tension arpeggios and many other tools can be applied during improvisation.

Surely, studying this music will bring a lot of knowledge to the jazz apprentice and will keep the most experienced improvisers sharp.
