Edition: Big Band Arrangement

Description: Medium Difficult – Blues Shuffle

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This bluesy groovin shuffle is a great workout for the entire band and features classic big band interplay between the brass and saxes. The 16-bar form serves as a great vehicle for the beginner/intermediate improviser and features a bluesy, soulful melody. The brass soli between solos in the baritone sax and trumpet is followed by an exhilarating shout chorus. A great chart for working on swing rhythms, style and ensemble playing. 5 saxes (no doubles), 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, 4 rhythm. Top note for Trumpet is a written Bb above the staff and Trombone is A4. Medium.
