Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement
Description: Swing - Medium Difficult
Publisher: Sierra Music
Sierra Music offers another Billy Byers masterpiece written for and recorded by the Count Basie Orchestra on their album Frankly Basie. Set as a medium swing in the inimitable style of the Basie band, this arrangement features the flute (doubled by the tenor saxophone) and trumpets on the catchy melody. This is combined with wonderful interplay from the ensemble and Basie piano solo fills (all written out). There is solo space for flute (changes) and piano (written out). The ensemble writing and brass ranges are reasonable (highest note for trumpet is a written Db) making this chart playable for most bands. This is a great addition to any band’s library! 5-4-4-4
2 Alto Saxophones

Good chart but I wonder why the double forte ensemble accent in bar 80 is missing from the drum part.
