Description

Our inspiration for the feel/groove of this song is Stevie Wonder’s classic ‘Superstition’. We’re not using his melody or lyrics, mind you. We’re just using the groove/feel of his song to help come up with a cool, funky way of playing Amazing Grace.

This version of Amazing Grace has got more of a minor feel. This arrangement grooves hard and is FUNKY!!! The alto sax carries the melody at the beginning of this and it rocks. The best thing is that it’s not a difficult solo to play AND it’s written out!

No matter what, you will want to hear the recording of this one below!
