Description
Notes From John
The bass waits out Bruce’s intro, then the tempo climbs from BPM = 117 to BPM = 145, easing back for the interlude, before a slow BPM = 76 ending. Swing and straight are both marked. A soft interlude builds back up.
For the player
The 1975 C.W. Post cut with the E Street Band. The band keeps pushing the tempo, so follow the tempo marks rather than a click. Wait out Bruce’s intro, then dig in. Bring the interlude down soft and let it grow. Ride each gear change. At BPM = 117 the job is the feel.
Bass Sheet Music for “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” by Bruce Springsteen.
