Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Kendor Music

As recorded by the great Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra on the album The Jazz Orchestra, this bright swing journey for experienced ensembles begins with a unique trio feature — bari sax, flugelhorn, bass — then presents each member of the opening trio in full-length solo choruses. An extended soli requires precise playing from the sax section, and the chart ends with a brief reunion of the opening trio before a dramatic ritard and final chord. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued. Duration 5:40.
