Edition: JAZZ SEPTET ARRANGEMENT [4 HORNS WITH RHYTHM]

Description: UP-TEMPO LATIN - MEDIUM DIFFICULT

Publisher: Hal Leonard

Since emerging from Charles Mingus' group in the 1970s, trumpeter JACK WALRATH has earned a reputation as an adventuresome composer and arranger. SEPTET INSTRUMENTATION

This homogenous setting of a simple melody with simple but surprising harmonies makes for an unusual piece of music that transforms suddenly from a subdued statement of the theme into a high-energy showcase for some wild and uninhibited solos. There are backgrounds behind the first couple of solos and many drastic changes in timbre and orchestration throughout. A creative group looking to develop a musical personality will have a great time with this one.

SOLOS: The solos range from wild high energy solos over some unusual, but easy, changes to a free solo featuring one horn and the drums that eventually works its way into a frenzied group improvisation.
