Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement
Description: Swing - Difficult
Publisher: Lush Life Music
Originally conceived as little more than a riff chart by Bennie Moten, this tune would later become a firm favorite of the Basie band. This version of "Moten Swing" features piano for the opening chorus before the band picks up the melody in the second chorus. Alto and tenor ad-lib solos puctuate the third chorus. The extended shout (to the finish) features some stunning dynamic contrast writing, with the band alternating 2-measure phrases (from piano to fortissimo across a 16 measure passage). The final shout builds from piano to fortissimo. Not only is this a great swing chart, it also makes a good feature for your piano player, alto 1, alto 2 and tenor 1 players. There are no sax doubles. Style: Swing @ 135b.p.m.
