Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Funky, straight eighths - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Bam! Earl MacDonald has whipped-up another fiery arrangement that sizzles from beginning to end. His recipe includes solo space for tenor sax, guitar and trumpet, blended with zesty tidbits of mixed-meter. The meaty, blues-tinged lines will give your band something to sink their teeth into, while dazzling your audience at the same time. Commissioned and debuted by the Grant McEwan University Faculty/Alumni Big Band, this arrangement is based on Jerrold Dubyk's original tune from his CD, "The Maverick." Bon appétit! Watch Earl MacDonald’s 10-piece band performing a pared down rendition of this song:
