Publisher: C.L. Barnhouse

Need an easy introduction to the swing style for your beginning jazz band? Look no further than Lock It In The Pocket! Horns play slurred eight note lines and staccato quarter notes. Clearly written rhythm section parts are perfect for bass and drum set players who are just starting. The solo section allows students to take very short solos, and only requires a few pitches (supplied right on their part!) – perfect for young jazzers! Playable with reduced or expanded instrumentation and optional auxiliary percussion, Lock It In The Pocket will be a hit at your first concert.

Playable with reduced instrumentation. Suggested solos and optional parts also included. (See sample page for details).
