Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is the Benny Goodman Orchestra's take on Irving Berlin's classic "Alexander's Ragtime Band." The chart is taken at a bouncy, up-tempo 200 b.p.m. and features a fine clarinet solo from BG which is written out "as-played," though your player can improvise their own from the chords provided. The brass has been expanded to 8 voices (from the original 5) and the reeds are scored for CAATT.
