Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: MEDIUM DIFFICULT This up-tempo jazz piece starts with a tutti which spins off into a division of the ensemble into unisons which spell a main motif for the piece. The middle section of the head has the soloist (to come), trumpet and the 2 altos, improvising simaultaneously. During the development section, the two altos trade 8s, the 2s over two choruses. The trumpet solos by himself over a rhythm ositinato. The saxes are featured on a substantial soli section before the piece builds to a climax, recapping the main theme. A roaring finish concludes. Solos: Both altos, trumpet. WW 1- soprano saxophone, alternate alto part provided. Optional parts for French horns (alternate parts for Tpt 5-6 provided), tuba and percussion (mallets and hand-percussion). Trpt. high note is C#
