Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Toy Piano Publishing

Florian Ross's Trampoline is a modern fast swing chart (half note = 130) that features tenor sax 1 in an engaging extended duet with the drums. The piece blends lyrical melodic writing with a driving rhythm section, creating an energetic and expressive platform for the soloist.

It opens with a quick jump—true to its title—then moves into a flowing, almost pastoral melody over an up-tempo swing feel. The Tenor solo begins in close dialogue with the drums, gradually building as the horns enter, aiming for a high-impact climax.

Ideal for advanced collegiate ensembles, Trampoline offers a chance to explore contemporary swing style, tight ensemble coordination, and thoughtful interpretation. Modern Fast Swing, almost even.
