Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is Buddy Morrow's thundering rendition of "Night Train." What is unusual is the speed of the chart - a slowish 85 bpm - and as a result the arrangement has a solid, rumbling momentum that carries all before it. The melody and solo is taken by the lead (solo) Trombone. Alan Glasscock has scored the chart meticulously, so your band can capture the feel and get the phrasing absolutely right in order to recreate what is one of Morrow's finest performances. There are no sax doubles.
