Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Medium

Publisher: Baker's Jazz

A beautiful ensemble feature in the slow swing ballad tradition of Neil Hefti’s “L’il Darlin’”. Lush brass and sax section harmonies show off the class and sophistication of this music. Brushes for the drummer add yet another level of color and interest as do numerous opportunities for the piano to add fills throughout. Another great feature of this chart is the use of silence to build anticipation before the next entrance is made. There is an extended trumpet solo as well as significant sax section work. Trumpet range is to written A.

Trumpet 1: A5
