Edition: Jazz Sextet Arrangement (3 Horns with Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Advanced

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

FATS NAVARRO and HOWARD McGHEE, two original bebop trumpet giants, co-composed this piece for a session of bebop all-stars. You can also hear two giants of a later generation, Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard, on their own recording of this trumpet players' tour de force. This piece makes a great feature for the front line.

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION

This show piece is a great vehicle for introducing a technically-proficient front line to some classic bebop vocabulary. Some of the lines are technically demanding but they lie well on all the horns and the final product is well worth the effort. SOLOS: These changes are full of II-Vs in cmfortable keys and are a great way for less experienced improvisers to play over classic bebop changes and for more experienced players who want to step beyond just making the changes.
