Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Originally released on the b-side of Shaw's March 1939 Bluebird record B-10202, "One Foot in the Groove" is a very cool and relaxed swing chart based around a repeating four chord progression. The solo space features trumpet, tenor and clarinet. All solos are written out as played, although your players can improvise their own solos from the chords provided. The original solos fit so well with the groove of the chart that you may consider playing them as-written. There is a fair amout of brass sectional plunger work (or fan hats) which, if performed tightly, give a good visual impact for the band. The reeds are scored CAATT; the brass has been augmented to eight voices from the original six. Style: Swing @ 165 b.p.m.
