Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Easy

Publisher: Eighth Note/Alfred Publishing

"Mr. Cool" is the perfect chart for directors to use when starting a jazz band for the first time. It is a modal straight riff tune that uses only one chord throughout. It is the perfect opportunity to focus on teaching the swing style, jazz articulations, and some opportunities to introduce improvisation to students who have little to no experience playing jazz.
