The piece can, then, be resumed as written from letter F on cue.During improvisation, the baritone saxophone goes on performing the notated bass figure whereas the remaining three voices can play over the 12-bar blues pattern. Improvising alternately by trading fours might even enhance the attraction of the composition.The minor blues scales starting from the root notes of G and E supply the Eb instruments with the necessary tonal material:G Bb C Db D FE G A Bb B DCorrespondingly, the Bb instruments shall have to use the minor blues scales starting from C and A:C Eb F Gb G BbA C D Eb E G
