Alright well I don't know how many of you are familiar with the audition system in Humber College in Toronto. One of the requirements is that there has to be two prepared pieces

Prepared Pieces: Please have two selections prepared; one in jazz style and one in classical style.

A) Jazz style: Play a melody, bass line and optional solo on a jazz standard
B) Classical style: Place a piece which demonstrates your musicality and instrumental ability

I'm just kind of frantic so excuse the stupid question but I just want a second opinion. Could I do In The Mood for a jazz piece, is it considered to have a melody and bass line?

Also I'm still trying to think of a classical piece, any suggestions?

Oh and anyone who's been through humber's bass program, what did they have you do in the audition?
