FLIGHT TO AUGUSTA

ARRANGED BY JEFFJARVIS

This funk original for advancing groups was commissioned by Dr. John Bradley, director of the Augusta (GA) State University Conservatory Jazz Band, and the Georgia Afro-American Jazz Band. The chart employs a tuneful melody supported by an interesting chord progression, and rock solid orchestration. It's fun to play and will leave both the band and the audience whistling the melody. The piano part is predominately notated with chord symbols provided. The guitar part has notated parts and sections with changes and slashes. Some of the key melodic material is shared by the guitar and optional vibraphone, but is cross-cued into other horn parts during those sections. Solo changes are cued for all instruments. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 4:15.
