Edition: Jazz Nonet Arrangement

Description: Swing/Latin - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Focal Point is a medium up swing/Latin chart that features solo space for trumpet, trombone and tenor saxophone. Additional soloists may be added as needed. The chart opens with tenor and trombone playing the melody in unison and gradually builds to include the full ensemble. The solo section is composed of harmonic material that will challenge even mature improvisers. Following the ensemble shout section, Focal Point draws to a close using the opening melodic material but with a half time Latin feel. Recorded on New York Nonet's album Bullet Trane.
