Audition pieces for 2013-14:
Second Line by Victor Goines
 
 Bb Blues - play-along track

 
 Moanin' - all instruments
 
Also, look around and see if you can find "Moanin'" as played by the great Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. It's worth listening to if you'd like to learn how to really swing (and I'm assuming you do).  Drummers: play along with Blakey!
 
Happy practicing!
