Exclamation College Audition Piece??

Sign in to disble this ad
I have college auditions coming up in December.... I've already mastered all the jazz, latin, and funk charts they sent for me to learn and my compositions are almost done.

One last problem.

I have no idea what to use as my chosen piece. It doesn't have to be a solo, persay, but I want something that I can show the peak of my abilities in, since none of the other songs really do that.

I'm looking for a song with a funk, swing jazz, and/or rock feel. I'd love a piece with a strong funky slap breakdown or rhythm (don't worry about speed much, I can slap at 200 bpm in 4/4 triplets pretty consistently). I'm fairly strong in fingerstyle as well, but my limit is 112 bpm 4/4 sixteenth notes.

I'm desperate for a good piece to impress these guys, so far my top two school are NYU and Berklee in Boston, so the competition is extremely high. Any and all recommendations are extreemely appreciated.

Personally, I'd go with "Hey There, Fancy Pants" by Ween.

Get "Escape" by Jonas Hellborg down, note for note, and you'll be doing well.
