Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: 6/4 Swing - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Sierra Music

As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra, “Ku-Damm” is the 1st movement of the Impressions of Berlin suite. Based on the blues, as so much of Oliver’s music was, this bright swing (waltz feel) starts with an aggressive line for woodwind doubles and adds to its intensity with the entrance of the trumpets a short while later. There is solo space for alto saxophone, trombone, and piano. This lively, moving composition is sure to bring an exciting contrast to any program! 5-4-4-3 (opt. 5th trombone)
