Don’t let ``medium-easy’’ fool you. Even really ``hot’’ bands will sound neat on this one. Solos for alto and piano (written), nice and playable sax solis, and lots of ensemble work combine to make this medium swinger a winner with the festival judges. Playable with limited instrumentation.

An incredible training chart for young jazz ensembles. Includes a number of basic swing concepts in a chart which isn’t too hard and allows inexperienced players to concentrate on the style. No solos, but does have spots for some short drum fills and there’s a written Basie style piano tag on the end. Andy’s charts always sound big and full and this one is especially nice! VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Soft and Easy is the perfect title for this laid back Swing-ballad. This is a wonderful way to introduce young musicians to this iconic Basie style. Once your band can play an accent on the and of one and fat (not rushed!!) quarter notes on beats three and four they will be well on their way to sounding great playing music in this style.
