Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Toy Piano Publishing

Florian Ross's Where Do I Want to Go Today is a modern medium swing chart with a blues-infused feel, set at a tempo of quarter note = 174. The piece blends vamp sections with soulful, bluesy melodic writing and is designed to spotlight Tenor 1 in a predominantly modal framework. It features clear melodic lines, pattern-driven rhythm section parts, and orchestrated passages with a touch of bebop flavor.

Influenced by the work of Jim McNeely and the dynamic, swinging arrangements of Thad Jones, Where Do I Want to Go Today offers a compelling mix of tradition and modernity.

Ideal for advanced collegiate jazz ensembles, this chart challenges players with tight ensemble interplay and invites creative interpretation within the modern swing idiom. Modern Swing, bluesy.
