AFRO BLUE - John Coltrane  (originally by Mongo Santamaria)
This is the theme for Afro Blue. I tabbed it out from the Coltrane version
Live at the Birdland. It's basically just a theme all in the F natural minor
scale. There is alot of room for little hammerons and other nice things to
really bring out the power of this simple tune.
Oh yeah, its in 6/8 time.
