Jean’s Reel
Jean's Reel is a Trad Scottish reel composed by Scottish accordion player Bobby MacLeod. Mr. Macleod wrote the tune in the key of F, but Natalie MacMaster recorded it in the key of G on her album "Fit as a Fiddle", and many contemporary fiddle players now play it in the key of G. It's a four part reel, and get ready...it moves right along!
