Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Baker's Jazz and More

All the energy and attitude of a New Orleans Brass Band on parade, including an optional tuba part to replace or augment the bass. This chart also provides a great platform for improvisation since it's built on a 24-bar extended Bb blues form. Written solos are provided for trombone, trumpet, and bass/tuba, although the chart can be opened up for any number of soloists. Written bass/tuba and piano parts are provided as well. The drummer also gets into the action trading phrases with the ensemble. A roaring shout chorus adds the finishing touch before moving on down the street.
