Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Jazz Lines Publications

This arrangement was written in 1973 and recorded by the Buddy Rich Big Band for the Roar of ‘74! album. This chart became a favorite of Buddy’s and remained in the Rich band book for many years and was performed live on numerous occasions. For many years facsimile copies of the original parts and a sketch score were reproduced and published by Walrus Music Publishing. This edition has been carefully prepared and engraved from these parts. Several note errors that were found in the original set of parts have been corrected as well. Articulations and dynamics that reflect the Buddy Rich Band interpretation have been included so that this arrangement may be faithfully reproduced. This would make a great festival piece or concert opener/closer!
