Audio Sample:

Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (3 Horns With Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

One of the classic Jazz Messenger sextet recordings of the early '60s, this legendary unit helped establish saxophonist Wayne Shorter and pianist Bobby Timmons in the jazz world. CURTIS FULLER's Alamode is easy enough for beginners, and features modal improvisation.

SEXTET INSTRUMENTATION:

  • 1st part: Trumpet, Alto Sax, C treble clef
  • 2nd part: Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, C treble clef
  • 3rd part: Trombone, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, C treble clef
  • Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar

    Includes full score.

    This arrangement provides an interesting and moderately challenging head as well as colorful solo backgrounds to modal changes. There are some rhythmic challenges, especially at the recorded tempo, but this arrangement is playable by musicians of most any ability level. It sounds great at slower tempos.

    SOLOS: The modal solo changes go for long stretches on one of two chords. This is a great introduction to modal improvising because of numerous backgrounds that can help to maintain energy and interest. Listen to the recording: inexperienced improvisers will be inspired by these great soloists.
