SECOND LINE - Sax Quintet - New Orleans Parade Music - Practice MP3

The track known as Second Line, alternatively referred to as Joe Avery’s Blues, is a composition crafted by the namesake trombone artist. This tune is a frequent choice at the gatherings known as second line parades. It's also often performed at events like wedding celebrations, social gatherings, processions, and traditionally as the concluding piece at jazz funerals. The music structure of this song is built upon a straightforward 12-bar blues format, featuring a melody that is easy to sing along to. Prior to the initiation of the melody, the 1st Alto delivers a robust, high-pitched signal that prompts the audience to echo back with an enthusiastic "Hey!" Following this, the group of musicians carries on to play the melody.
