Edition: Jazz Little Big Band Arrangement

Description: Latin - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

Bob Florence's Killer Phil, written for the Phil Norman Tentet, is a creative re-imagining of Benny Golson's classic composition Killer Joe. The unique 3/2 Latin groove provides a dynamic rhythmic component to the performance, underpinning an extraordinarily catchy descending melody that starts in the tenor sax and trombone but eventually grows to encompass the full ensemble. Baritone sax and trumpet solos are followed by a dynamic, high-energy shout chorus, and the various melody statements are broken up by a series of tricky, chromatic send-offs that do a wonderful job of naturally building the chart's energy level.

This publication was based on the set of parts from Phil Norman's library - this is not a transcription.
