Edition: JAZZ BIG BAND ARRANGEMENT

Description: SWING - DIFFICULT Revisited is most certainly an advanced level romp that, at its core, is a blues, though it frequently wanders astray. The brass is screaming, the tempo is "as up as you can take it", the head is very bebop, and there is a mderate amount of doubling and muting. The solo sections (one that is wedged between the intro statement and the head) can be opened-up for choruses of blowing. There is a bit of counterpoint jusst to challenge the band even more. This can be a real "toe-tapper" once it comes together.Charts are for piano, bass, drums, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, bass trombone, and 5 saxes standard. Difficult. As recorded by the Gairo-Rissmiller Jazz Orchestra on Sea Breeze Records, Treacherous.
