Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Contemporary - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

December is a Maria Schneider-esque chart that features tenor (opt. soprano) and trumpet (opt. guitar/vibes). The ethereal melody floats over a 6/4 even-eighth groove. Solo changes are challenging, but mature soloists (and rhythm section) will have no problem. Some piano voicings are provided; bass part is both notated and slashes. This chart will be a stunning change of pace for a college or strong high school band. Med-difficult.
