Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Easy

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

This is a classic, straight-ahead, easy swing. Here, the rhythms may be handled even by inexperienced players. The first trumpet goes only up to a high C, making this even more accessible for a young band. The melody alternates between unison trumpets on the A sections and soli saxophones on the bridge. There's also a classic Basie shout chorus that gives the drummer some room to shine.

There's a short solo for the piano over simple changes that are full of II-Vs and which move slowly enough for an inexperienced soloist to play over.
