Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Alfred Publishing

Here's a swinger with a New Orleans twist. GET HAPPY will help your band and audience do just that with arranger Ralph Ford's super chart. A clever use of a street beat contrasting with a swing feel makes this chart really take off. Add some solo space for trumpet and tenor (solos provided), keep the ranges easy, mix in the Ralph Ford touch, and you have everything you need for a successful performance. Great chart for the young band!
