Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Straight Eighths/Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Sierra Music

Sweet Spot, one of Bill Holman’s originals written for his own band (a feature for the late Carl Saunders) starts out easy with a cool vamp-like intro leading into the trumpet solo. There is also solo space for tenor saxophone. The feel is mostly straight eighths with the occasional swing section interrupting that feel. It’s really hard to describe the many beautiful things that happen in this piece. Suffice to say it was created by the master.

Doubles in the woodwind section require flute, clarinet and soprano saxophone for short periods of time (see the Contents tab). This can easily be converted to all standard saxophone parts. Medium-Advanced. 5-4-4-3. 4th TBN bass. No GTR.
