Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Advanced

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Those who appreciate modern big bands such as those epitomized by Maria Schneider or the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra should derive ample pleasure from Flip-Flop, an admirable maiden voyage on which John Yao shows considerable promise as a composer / arranger whose eyes and ears are unalterably focused on the future of big-band jazz. "Flip Flop" is an up tempo swing chart. Contemporary in it’s approach to form, use of chords and freedom to not use chords at all while improvising.
