Description

A jazzy and sophisticated rendition of the well known piano piece "chopsticks" (* see notes below) that would work well in a light, humorous scene.
it is divided into 5 variations:
Bass and drums intro, Main theme, bass and drums alternative, then a light piano solo in a style reminiscent of the New Orleans greats - Fats Domino and Professor Longhair, finishing up with the main theme but with an ending twist.
Instruments: acoustic piano, bass, drums and bongos.

**If you would prefer specific stems to create your own particular versions, please get in touch and Dave will send them to you directly, as fast as he can.

*Cultural note:
The main theme is known by many different names in many different countries and in the USA it is a completetly different piece of music:
In the United Kingdom and Germany, this melody is known as "Chopsticks".
However in the USA "Chopsticks" is a completetly different composition based on a piece originally called "The Celebrated Chop Waltz"
If you are curious and would like to have a listen to a version of the composition better known in the USA:
Teknotic Chopstix
