Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Composed for the Limestone Junior High School Jazz Band (Kankakee, IL), this bluesy non-blues chart offers flexible instrumentation with supportive cues across various instruments. Chord changes for soloing appear in all non-drum parts, carefully selected so that both comping and soloing can be approached easily, using as few as three major scales for soloing: Bb, C, and F concert. The concert C Blues scale can also be used throughout the changes. Suggested-scale sheets are provided for C Treble, C Bass, Bb, and Eb instruments; and written solo options are provided for Bb instruments.
