Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Hip Hop Funk - Medium

Publisher: Smart Chart Music

Here's a great chart on Freddie Hubbard's Blues for Miles that really cooks! Freddie describes this tune as "hip hop funk" on the original CD also entitled "Blues for Miles." This solid arrangement begins with the trumpets introducing the very funky unison melody followed by a cool stop-time chorus for the sax section. Solos follow for the soloists of choice on slightly altered B-flat blues changes and then an exciting rock-flavored shout chorus takes it back to the head. Including an optional flute part, this is an outstanding choice for any performance opportunity! Highly recommended!
