[Coleman Hawkins Edward Heyman Frank Eyton Johnny Green Robert Sour]
“Body and Soul” is the quintessential jazz ballad and a measuring stick on an improviser’s competence. The number of chord changes can seem intimidating at first, but study and practice will reward you when learning this song. A lot of tenor sax players love this tune and that alone is reason to learn it. Try playing it here in a funk ballad style.
