Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

A challenging original that will really give your band something to shoot for. A semi "out" tpt/ten neo bop line based on the G diminished scaled and ascending half diminished changes proceeds into a contrapuntal treatment of the main theme. Open solos with big bands for tpt/tenor lead to a challenging sax soli and piano solo, leading into some fairly dissonant ensemble work culminating in a big ensemble with drum fills finale. A really big show piece for the entire ensemble. Tpt 1 has a couple Ebs and many Ds. Soprano sax doubles on alto 1. Difficult level.
