Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Baker's Jazz and More

In the tradition of Neal Hefti's classic L'il Darlin', although slightly faster in tempo, Steppin' Up focuses on one of the fundamental elements of the swing style...how to swing quarter notes to get that cool, relaxed style that just feels so right. (Swinging quarter notes? You bet!). There are lots of section spotlights to highlight each group along with short, written (or improvised) solos for alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, and piano or guitar. Trumpet range is to written F on top of the staff.
