Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement
Description: Swing - Medium Difficult
Publisher: Lush Life Music
"Glen Island Special" is a very quick swing chart written by Eddie Durham for the Glenn Miller band, and on first hearing it you could be forgiven for thinking it to be a Basie chart. At 240 beats per minute this chart rips from start to finish. It features ad-lib solos for 2nd Trumpet and 1st Tenor and has plenty of visual appeal too, with much plunger / hat work in the Brass. The Saxes are scored for 3 Altos and 2 Tenors, with no doubles. The Trumpet ranges are very moderate, with lead only reaching a G5. The Sax parts do require very nimble fingers, and we have graded the chart as Medium Advanced purely because of this. If you play to a dance crowd the dancers will need a rest afterwards!
