Edition: Jazz Little Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

The Blues in Overdrive is just what it says and means, the blues played at a very challenging tempo, 270+= BPM. Every section of the band is challenged both with written parts and solos over the blues at a very fast tempo. Featured solos are drums, trumpet, alto, and tenor, all who play a great Kansas City riff style on the head. Then it is open for solos. When the rhythm section keeps the tempo on the burning edge, it is very rewarding for all the musicians and the audience. It is a great chart and can be used and an opener of closer. Instrumentation: 2trpts, 1trbn, 1alto, 1tenor, 1 bari, guitar, acoustic piano, string bass, and drums.Lead trumpet is a written Aa major 13th above middle C. Medium Difficult.
