WHAT DO YOU SAY DR. J.

AS RECORDED BY ART BLAKEY AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS

ARRANGED BY JAMES WILLIAMS

This JAMES WILLIAMS contribution to the Jazz Messenger book is in the trademark Blakey "shuffle" style.

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION

This bluesy shuffle features a piano and bass unison against the melody which is set in rich 3-part harmony for the horns. Several places highlight the effective use of dynamics. The rhythm parts, which only have 2 simple ensemble figures with the horns, are free to focus on the groove which is this arrangement's most important element.

SOLOS: The solos are based on a simple I to IV progression that moves into the cycle of fourths and back. These are great standard groove changes.

* Jazz Repertory Transcription Series = includes chord voicings, written bass lines, drum fills and melody line cues in rhythm section parts.
