Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is a faithful transcription of Skippy Martin's inspirational chart written for the Les Brown band. It is not a rework of the stock chart that was published decades ago which contained many errors and inaccuracies. In this chart the sections are correctly voiced and all articulations and dynamics are clearly written so that you band can recreate faithfully the Les Brown sound. The Tenor and Trumpet solos are transcribed in full, though your players can improvise their own from the chords provided and the Piano solo is improvised from the changes. There are no sax doubles.
