Edition: Jazz Little Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Advanced

Publisher: Alfred Publishing

Gordon Goodwin's "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is your basic flag-waving, barn-burning, straight-ahead swing chart for an eight-piece band: tenor, trumpet, trombone, piano, guitar, bass, drums, and auxiliary percussion. Sure it's a challenge, but it's very doable with experienced players. Solo space for sax, trumpet, and trombone as recorded by the Little Big Phat Band on the CD An Elusive Man. Can you handle it . . .? (6:18)
