Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Waltz - Difficult

Publisher: Hal Leonard

The opening cut from the Mingus Big Band CD 'Gunslinging Birds' is this raucous and blistering jazz waltz. Mingus wrote this piece as a tribute to Charlie 'Bird' Parker with the subtitle 'If Charlie Parker were a gunslinger there'd be a whole lot of dead copycats.' This chart doesn't hold anything back!
