Audio Sample:

Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (Two Horns With Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

Along with Hank Mobley, KENNY DORHAM's 20-plus albums on Blue Note, Prestige and other labels provided small band modern jazz writing with some of its most defining moments. QUINTET INSTRUMENTATION:

  • Front Line: E-flat, C treble clef, C bass clef, Trumpet (1st part),
  • Tenor Sax (2nd part)
  • Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar
  • Piano Voicings by Kenny Barron
  • Bass Lines by Reggie Johnson
  • FULL SCORE [JRTS]* Whistle Stop is a great head based on rhythm changes. The A section (in concert A-flat), followed by a question-and-answer double bridge (between the front line and rhythm section). There's also a chorus of trading between the ensemble and the drums. SOLOS: Rhythm changes in keys other than B-flat are a common weakness among young improvisers. These Ab rhythm changes in the A section give a soloist a good opportunity to work on them as well as the circle of fifths which makes up most of the bridge.
