Notes from the composer<\/h3>\n

The Jazz Waltz is America\u2019s very unique, and truly original, answer to the traditional European ballroom dance. As opposed to the classical Waltz, the Jazz Waltz features a continuous \u201cwalking bassline\u201d consisting of quarter notes. Along with the secondary accompanying chords, the walking bass brings a cool and casual character to the Jazz Waltz. With its cheerful melody and syncopations, the \u201cSweet Cherry Waltz\u201d follows the Jazz Waltz patterns and includes rhythm highlighted by clapping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
