Edition: Jazz Sextet Arrangement (3 Horns with Rhythm)

Description: Up-Tempo Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

Art Farmer recognized JAMES WILLIAMS' exemplary talents as a writer and performer. Guitarists will be sure to appreciate the legendary Kenny Burrell's work on these recordings.

This arrangement contrasts an attractive flowing melody played by the first part with some impressive unison figures for all three front line instruments. This one will make the rhythm section - as well as the second and third front line instruments - count and concentrate on rhythmic accuracy as they are required to play some tricky off-beat hits exactly together at a fast tempo behind the first part's melody. This is a great piece with which to show off a band with good time and uptempo chops.

SOLOS: The solo section consists of 16 bars of modal soloing followed by 14 bars of formidable modern chord changes. They're not easy but can be mastered with practice.
