School Audition.. what to play?

[FrizzleFry]

So this coming June I will me auditioning for a school, I know what they want, but I'm not to sure on what to play.

Jazz, Rock or Pop are the criteria.

some ideas

Jaco as always portrait of tracy, Teen town. Some other

Besides that I'm a little stumped, What would you folks, who have auditioned for schools play, within those genres?

I'd suggest NOT playing portrait of tracy.

Typically they will want a slow song and a fast song. Pick two songs to play (out of a real book or something similar) maybe one one latin, one swing, or one whatever and one whatever, just pick contrasting styles. Play a bassline, the head, and a solo.

ahh Thanks! I've also worked on Kreutzer's Etude, They don't ask for a classical piece, but just in case.
