So What by Miles Davis Small Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music
By Miles Davisfor Cello Trio or Quartet
So What by Miles Davis is a great piece for cello trios looking to include some jazz in their repertoire. This arrangement works for a trio or a quartet, splitting the first part and incorporating improvised backgrounds in the solo section with a quartet. With a trio, the cello 1 part plays the melody in double stops, cello 2 taps on the body of the cello to replicate a drum part, and cello 3 plays the bass line. The base line is bowed during the melody and plucked during the solos. The solo section is optionally improvised or an included transcription of Miles Davis' solo is played.
