Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This uptempo swinger (quarter = 192) is based on the changes to a well-known jazz standard. An advanced chart for full ensemble, it features a challenging tutti introduction by the rhythm section, melody statement by the saxes with brass accents, followed by a driving, full-chorus sax soli. Following an open solo section with cued backgrounds is an intense shout chorus, featuring an abrupt stop-time section, and a brief drum solo leading to a D.C. al Coda. With demanding figures and precise interplay between the sections, this chart is a perfect program opener that will capture your audiences attention. Lead trumpet range to high F. 5/4/4/G/P/B/D. Medium difficult.
