So no traction on this for a couple of weeks now but here's what I've come up with so far:
4 Track E.P. 4 different styles all in the key of "F" (major or minor) Real basic melody then large sections for solos on each chart First - Folk-Style tune similar to Mumford and Sons, Of Monsters and Men ect... Features - Standard Jazz tune - Almost all solos. Jazz waltz? Friends - Funk tune loosly based off of "Why Can't We Be Friends" progression. Freedom - Reggae Chart?
