Jungle Boogie

Playing this in a band, how do you play those... what ever they are, in the intro! Is it a fast arpeggio, or some kind of lip slur?

It's more of a rip up to the high A than an arpeggio.

How do you perform a rip, complicated? I guess the most important thing is to nail that A...

Argh, the only things I have down is the soli theme up and down the a-blues. Somebody save me pleease!

Is the other riff just a thrill on D#/E and then to an A?

Just played this on my "comeback gig" after 10 years back in May. The rip is simple. Just start blowing aiming for the A but go 3, 2, 1+2 super fast ending on the A. I never scoped it out, but I think you'll end up with soemthing like E-F#-A or maybe the harmonics are such that you'll start higher. Anyway, it's Just like you're strumming your fingers on a desktop in annoyance of someone, but ending on 1-2 (A)!

The other riff is a 1/16 note triplet from D#-E-D# then down to C and then A If my memory is correct. I believe technically it's a "Grupetto". Arban's page 91-93 or so??? (Somebody help me here).

The important thing is don't rush it or it sounds bush-league. And make sure the darn Saxes don't rush it either. (They'll rush anything that doesn't take more than 2 fingers to play!) Just practice like a eighth and 2 sixteenths. the D# eighth, C-A sixteenths, to get the timing of actually how slow it can be, and then add the other two notes. D#-E-D# in place of the eighth note, then the C-A sixteenths. (I'll check the chart when I get home to verify the notes).

I have the entire part transcribed by a guy who transcribes for Harry Connick. It was spot on. If you need to see it, let me know and I'll fax it or scan and attach it to email.

He described it good, I "roll" my fingers from 3rd valve twords 1and2 and it works pretty good. Jungle boogie is a sweet tune

Thank you! thats exactly what I needed to know, now I just need some practice to get the riffs solid. The rhythm is tough, you're right! The saxes were playing it as two triplets...
