Edition: Jazz Quintet or Sextet Arrangement (Two or Three Horns With Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

KENNY WHEELER's recordings with pianist Keith Jarrett and guitarist John Abercrombie, as well as his own recordings, have earned him a reputation as one of the best of the modern (including the avant-garde/free jazz idiom) trumpet players. This beautiful harmonically-complex composition, recorded with contemporary bass giant Dave Holland, doesn't have a harmonic comping instrument. The solo chord progression, though short, is rewarding.

The close harmonies and intricate individual lines within the three-horn front line are great for working on intonation and blend.

SOLOS: By steering clear of II-Vs and going to less common key centers, these changes are different but not too difficult. They're great for encouraging creativity in developing and advanced soloists. Also includes a free improvisation section, if desired.
