Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Ballad - Medium Easy

Publisher: Excelcia Music Publishing

Touchstone is a compelling, heartfelt even eighth-note ballad that will show off the soft side of your ensemble. The chart has some great musical moments and features well-crafted rhythm section parts that are fully notated. Aptly titled, this heartfelt ballad will help your young jazz band reach a new level of achievement and leave a lasting impression on your audience. Varied dynamic contrast and sparkling piano ornamentations throughout make this ballad shine. Optional written solos for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet and trombone provide opportunities to showcase your rising stars.
