Critical Listening 8


"Swing to Pop"- Charlie Christian
The song sort of fades in and Charlie is soloing on Guitar. I can distinguish a Piano, a String Bass, and a Drummer. The Piano sounds like it's splaying a stride like accompaniment. The piano and string bass work together to create the rhythm section of the song. Christian speeds up and slows down his riffs during the song. You can tell Christian enters more complex chord changes in the B section. The snare is used to accent a lot during the song as well. This is an AABA 32-Bar Popular song format. I would set the BPM around 110.
