Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Taken down from the original 1936 Fletcher Henderson chart for the Benny Goodman Orchestra, this transcription is faithful to the BG chart except that we have augmented the brass to 8 voices from the original 5. Although the Glenn Miller USAAF band version of St. Louis Blues is much better known, this early Goodman chart has a naive simplicity and charm that makes it not only very playable, but easy to listen to. Goodman's solos are written out in full, and the trumpet solo is left open to be improvised from the chords provided. The reeds are scored for CAATT and there are no doubles in the saxes.
