Edition: jazz Sextet Arrangement

Description: Latin - Medium

Publisher: Hal Leonard

The tempo gets a little brighter for this second arrangement we suggest for the set. This is a 36 measure A B C D form. Three 8 measure sections, the first Latin, and the next two swing. The D section is 12 measures long and remains swing in the solo section. The first 8 measures of D in the head is a funky 2-feel piano feature that turns it back to the horns for the last 4 measures of the melody (swing). The melody is full of fun twists and turns. Theres also a 2 or 3 horn solo section background as well.

A note from the composer: Captains Song was written for Skip Crumby-bey, a NY bassist who lived in Milwaukee when I was coming up. Its an A B C D form with moving dominant and minor tonal centers.
