I need to find a tune my dad used to play a lot. It's jazz, it's played on brass (trumpet I guess so could be Miles Davies?)
My best attempt at describing it is the hook goes....
Bah..bah..bahbah
Bah..bah..bahbah
Bah..bah..bahbah baaaaaa
I reckon if you know your jazz and you speak through the above you'll know what I mean!!
Even if its not Miles Davis, listen to So What and drift away...
That sounds like part of Pictures of Spain but could be wrong.
Ah um…
Not sure. Sounds… kind of… blue?
You might get an answer round about midnight.
Is that not the old Pearl and Dean tune?
Oh when the saints...
That's not jazz, that's Thus Spake Zarathustra, except you missed the dumdumdumdumdumdumdums. And an extra baaaa in the last bar
Jeeps Blues by Duke Ellington?
Ah um was Mingus
Sorry I can't help my knowledge of jazz stopped at the fast show
We need a clip of you humming/vocalising it!
Haha, that would be easier! Tried singing into Shazam, didn't work!
All these suggestions so far are dead familiar to me, all stuff that was on constantly in my house growing up.
I probably shouldn't have said it's brass, it might not be.
The notes are quite stoccato and it's up tempo.
The Sidewinder - Lee Morgan?

Sketches of Spain. Enjoy
Sketches of Spain, Miles Davis
Tried singing into Shazam
Google has singing recognition, try that.
"on your mobile device, open the latest version of the Google app or find your Google Search widget, tap the mic icon and say “what's this song?” or click the “Search a song” button. Then start humming for 10-15 seconds. "
Monty Skips The Pellet?
That would be of So What - first track on Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
No limit - 2Unlimited
What about Take Five by Dave Brubeck Quartet?
My best attempt at describing it is the hook goes….
Bah..bah..bahbah
Bah..bah..bahbah

Surely if it's Jazz, the hook goes more like:
kjbae uabw oiwefnwv
ubwavouvw lfenwei lnfwiv
;iwvwvn ;knvw~mwv
;owv[pvwv
We've not got there yet.
I think So What could work as a good substitute though if I can't crack it.
Bah bah blacksheep. Innit.
Add scoobity do bah bah and anything us jazz.
Watermelon Man?
A Love Supreme?
'Round Midnight is another contender...
GOT IT
Milestones by Miles Davis
lol, read the OPs riff and this fits exactly.
Well done.
It Has to be that.
OP is a skat writer?
@edhornby YOU'RE A STAR!
Only had to listen to the first note and I knew it was right straight away 🤓👍👌😜
Thanks everyone, even from my vague post, I knew STW would come through
Oh, that one!
Why didn't you say?
Niiiicccce!
