'Be Bob' is a brand-new Terry Seabrook
composition for solo piano, to give you a real jazz work-out at a grade 6 level.
  There are nods to Herbie Hancock, Horace Silver and Bill Evans in the
style and some fairly demanding rhythmic, off-beat left hand.   Terry has
included an example solo on the changes and the appropriate scales are appended
for your own improvisation.   The target metronome mark is crotchet 160 but
the piece also sounds great at a gospellish 100.  The composition is
dedicated to the genius of Bobby Timmons and, with some practice and
perseverance, you can be Bob.
