Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Easy

Publisher: Kendor Music

Originally scored in the late 1970s for the San Francisco Symphony Summer Workshop Jazz Band and recently updated for publication, this fantastic flag-waver for developing groups is the perfect program opener or closer. Set in a driving up-tempo swing feel, solos for alto sax and trumpet can be negotiated using the notes of a single scale. You’ll also find some infectious sax section playing and a roaring shout chorus. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 2:30. Series: Jazz Gateway Instrumentation: standard jazz ensemble (Kendor Konvertible for 9-17 players) plus opt. flute, clarinet, F horn, tuba and vibes.
