Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Straight Eighth - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

This meditative straight-8ths arrangement from Allen Carter stays largely in 7/4, but make sure your ensemble is prepared for several sudden metric shifts that occur throughout the chart. The melody is handled by flugelhorn and tenor sax, who both get room to improvise as well, with the ensemble swelling and whirling around each of their choruses. The ending chorus will require a strong lead trumpet player to execute with the proper intensity and emotional impact.
