Backing Track
On Green Dolphin Street Bassless Backing Track
This On Green Dolphin Street backing track is built to help you hear the contrast between the tune’s floating latin opening and the more direct swing movement that follows. This version is bassless so bass players can supply the line themselves.
Advanced 32-bar loop
How to practice
- 1 Treat the latin and swing sections as different kinds of phrasing, not just different chords.
- 2 Keep your guide tones strong when the harmony starts moving faster in the swing sections.
- 3 Use space in the A section so the pulse and color changes remain audible.
Suggested scales & modes
- Eb major
- Eb melodic minor
- F Mixolydian
