Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Easy

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Here is a great opener for developing bands. The chart starts with a half-time swing funk groove, followed by a quirky but VERY funky melody. Solos can feature anyone in the band, followed by a drum solo over the groove. The changes are easy, and a separate chord sheet is included. 5-4-4-4, with optional flute, clarinet, and vibes parts included. Rhythm parts are notated. Very conservative trumpet ranges (lead to top space G).
