Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement
Description: Swing - Medium Difficult
Publisher: Sierra Music
There are a few charts from this library which are very playable by any reasonably well developed jazz ensemble. This surely is one of the best! Holman created a beautifully layered piece, based on the Rhythm changes. This is one of the most popular charts in the entire Kenton Library. Solo space for alto, tenor, trombone and trumpet. Recorded on the Kenton Showcase LP in 1954. (This music is available from Mosaic Records in their Russo/Holman CD set.) 5-5-5-3 (condensed score)
