Description: SWING - MEDIUM

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

BOBBY WATSON is one of contemporary jazz's most in-demand writers and performers, having scored for big band, sax quartet and his own combos. A Jazz Messenger alumnus, saxophonist Watson writes with a characteristic hard-swinging edge to his contemporary rhythms and harmonies.

UNISON FRONT LINE INSTRUMENTATION RECORDED AS A QUARTET

This has great rhythmic counterpoint between melody instruments and rhythm section. A lot of fun, when it all comes together.

SOLOS: The solo changes are neither simple nor extraordinarily difficult. Common chords are arranged in an uncommon progression, but the changes have an internal logic and a recognizable pattern that gives the solost a harmonic anchor. These may take a little work, but the work will pay off for an improviser of any ability level.

* Jazz Repertory Transcription Series includes chord voicings, bass lines, drum fills and cued melody lines in rhythm section parts.
