Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Paul Baker Jazz

Deep in the Scene is a swing chart steeped in the language of the Hard Bop era. Tempo is a very manageable 165bpm, but the language is more advanced than a typical Swing Era chart. Trumpet and tenor sax state the melody as it gains strength throughout the first chorus. Even though the melody may be challenging, the solo changes are a familiar D Minor blues progression. Solo opportunities are provided for numerous players and there is a written solo provided for the bassist later in the piece. Following a short shout section, the drums get 16 bars to solo (with additive bkgds) before returning to the top of the chart via.D.C. al Coda. Trumpet range is to written C. Trombone range is to G.
