Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Publisher: Toy Piano Publishing

Florian Ross's rendition of How Long Has This Been Going On is a modern yet faithful take on the Gershwin song from the film Funny Face. Set at a tempo of quarter note = 72 with an even eights feel, the piece showcases the beautiful melody of the original score and is designed to spotlight trombone 1 and tenor 1. It features clear melodic lines, rhythm section parts driven by patterns, and colorful passages for the full orchestra.

This chart is ideal for advanced collegiate jazz ensembles and challenges players with tight ensemble interplay, inviting the softer side of big band reminiscent of the original film score.
