I originally composed, Break Dance Gracie, for a small jazz ensemble I was playing in and then later arranged it for a larger jazz ensemble. I’ve always loved improvisation so there is a point, at the end, where the guitarist is free to do an improvisation.

Break Dance Gracie!! was originally composed for a small jazz ensemble. I performed it at the South Haven jazz festival back in September (2019) with guitar, alto saxophone, bass, and drums. I made a full jazz band arrangement of it to be performed back in March but the coronavirus came and cancelled the concert. I decided to make this arrangement for guitar.

Break Dance Gracie is a piece I composed last year for jazz band. I am in the process of arranging it for guitar. The chord progression is Am-G-F-E that repeats over and over again.
