Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Smart Chart

Medium tempo Blues in F that really drives. Unison saxes carry the melody for the first chorus and are joined by the brass on the second. A short lead in to the trombone solo carries the chart to the solo section. One chorus of sax soli sets up a solid 'shout chorus? and an ending drum solo. Very player friendly with written solos, May be opened for more solos. (Scored to sound complete with 4-3-2-3). This Thad Jones original arrangement has been re-scored by Mike Carubia to make it more easily playable by high school and college jazz bands.
