Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement (with strings)

Description: Swing - Medium Easy

Publisher: Alfred Publishing

New in the Jazz Expressions Series, When the Saints Go Marching In is well-known as a jazz classic. The focus in this chart is on melodic improvisation and the second-line New Orleans style at the medium-easy level. This arrangement begins with a slow funeral-like march then breaks into a spirited swing. Mike Lewis has crafted this chart to include the following: modest ranges, easy rhythms, plenty of section and ensemble work, a solo section for all wind players, optional parts for flute, clarinet, horn, baritone horn, and tuba. And check this out: STRING PARTS include violin (2), viola, and cello. The jazz band can include everyone!
