Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

When you say "Intermission Riff," the first name that pops up is usually Stan Kenton. However, other bands also covered this Ray Wetzel tune, and we offer you the Ted Heath version here, originally arranged by Ron Roullier and transcribed by Jon Harpin. We have written out the opening Piano solo chorus, and have left the other sax and trombone solos for your players to improvise. The first sax solo chords are scored onto the Alto 1 chair, and cued on the Tenor 1 part. The Trombone solo chords are written on all Trombone parts, leaving you free to share the solo space amongst your section. As per the Kenton chart, the Trumpets scream very high towards the end - lead to G6 and second to Eb6. If your lead doesn't have the range, he can drop this little 3 measure section down an octave, though he'll still have to hit high Eb on the final chord. There are no sax doubles.
