Edition: Jazz Combo Arrangement (Four Horns with Rhythm)

Description: Swing - Advanced

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

Three young Jazz Messengers contributed arrangements to this Blakey album: pianist GEOFF KEEZER, saxophonist JAVON JACKSON and trumpeter BRIAN LYNCH have since recorded their own albums as leaders. All these septet arrangements are provided with alternate parts. SEPTET INSTRUMENTATION Lynch skillfully weaves in and out of traditional bebop phrases. This is great for a group that has a firm grasp of more conventional melodies and harmonies and is ready for the next level. This chart explores the unfamiliar while giving the listener (and performer) glimpses of the familiar to latch onto. SOLOS: The changes are full of II-Vs, but they aren't always laid out as one would expect. In keeping with the underlying principles of the entire composition, there are also some more unconventional harmonic devices that occur periodically throughout the form.
