vamps
Jazz intro repeats
Vamps is the plural of vamp, which has two distinct meanings.
A vamp is the upper front part of a shoe or boot covering the instep.
Separately, a vamp is a seductive woman who uses her attractiveness to manipulate men—short for vampire in its figurative sense: silent film vamps like Theda Bara.
To vamp is to improvise an accompaniment or repeat a simple musical figure while waiting: The pianist vamped until the singer was ready.
