Edition: Jazz Sextet Arrangement (Three Horns With Rhythm)

Description: Swing Waltz - Medium

Publisher: Second Floor Music/Hal Leonard

This is a more medium tempo 3/4 arrangement, again full of interesting twists and turns with questions and answers tossed back and forth between the rhythm section and the horns. This A1 A2 B C1 C2 D melody sets up the solo section, which starts as an 4 measure vamp. The rhythm section starts accompanying each soloist in a 1-feel, which develops into energy as the soloist develops energy. Steve has indicated an optional background that can be cued for the last 16 measures of the soloists 4 measure vamp. This leads into an 8 measure 1-feel Bass pedal section that can either go right to the next soloist or to an 8 measure Interlude that can be used to set up the next soloist. After the last soloist, there is an out chorus that leads back to the original bridge before ending. A note from the composer: Visionary, composed in 1994, was recorded by One For All on 'Too Soon To Tell' in 1997. The piece reflects a pensive view of the artist-at-work (an often solitary endeavor) and the adventure of improvisation through use of dark, harmonic colors (in Db minor) and a wide-open blowing section.
