Edition: JAZZ SEXTET ARRANGEMENT [3 HORNS WITH RHYTHM]

Description: SWING - MEDIUM

As Quiet As It's Kept was originally conceived in quintet format. Again, notice the opening motif introduced again in the bridge as a counterpoint to the melody at B. The melody at B may be embellished as long as the blues flavor and contour of the line is observed. The piece is semi-modal in its construction. By that I mean that the changes are long meter. Care must be taken to distinguish the A section from the B section during solos. I suggest opening the solo section in two and going into four on the bridge and back to two on the last 16. Drummers are encouraged to switch from brushes to sticks for effect.
