Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Lush Life Music

Here is Benny Goodman's timeless classic in all its glory. Many bands performed versions of this song, but the Goodman Orchestra's rendition remains the standard by which all others are judged. The saxes are scored for Clarinet, 2 Altos & 2 Tenors. We have augmented the Brass up to a full 8 from the original 5. All of the original solos (Clarinet, Tenor & Trombone) are fully transcribed, though your players can improvise from the chords is they prefer. The piano part is written on 4 beat style and the drum part is notated as per the original, though your might prefer to have him play a more swingy hi-hat style if you wish to push the feel a little.

Swing @ 150 b.p.m.
