Stella By Starlight Jazz - A backing track with only drums and double bass for this important jazz standard. Have a good time!

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, Chet 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.

This jazz standard can be found in "Real Book vol.1" on page 408.

This backing track consists of drums and double bass. The tempo is at 160bpm.
