Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Kendor Music

Here is a vibrant big band Bebop chart that showcases a number of soloists as well as the full ensemble. Composer Craig Skeffington has brought new light to "rhythm changes" with this piece, making it an ideal choice to open or close a festival performance.

THAT Escalated Quickly is an original up tempo swing piece, loosely based on the chord changes of the classic “I Got Rhythm” pieces in the Great American Songbook –

  • Cottontail – Duke Ellington
  • Oleo – Miles Davis
  • Moose the Mooche – Charlie Parker

    The title refers to the start of COVID. Our school was slated to host the Maine State Jazz Festival in March of 2020. 2 days before the event, we were sent home for what was described as a “short break”….we’d be back soon. Of course we weren’t, and everyone knows the story. The re-harmonized bridge changes are a nod to that old saying “nothing is as it seems” – a direct reflection on the immediate changes COVID had!
