SKU: KN.42583

UPC: 822795425833.

While lots of charts through the years have been based on the chord changes to I Got Rhythm, this straight-ahead swinger for medium level groups is more accessible than most. Perfect for concert or festival, it features plenty of ensemble work and a written or ad lib open solo section with ample room for stretching out. A solid shout chorus and exciting drum fills bring everything to a satisfying finish. Duration 5:42.

Straight ahead rock with a great feel. Solos for Tenor Sax and Trumpet (written solos are provided if needed) and a short drum solo combined with solid scoring and reasonable ranges make this a fine choice with many uses. Excellent material with lots of crowd appeal.

This is not an encyclopedia, but an unusual juxta position of two styles of music. The fanfare is an exciting straight-ahead bit of writing which works its way through contrapuntal and polytonal paths and somehow finds itself in the middle of a funk version of itself. After some solos and a drum solo transition the music completes the symmetric circle and ends as it started. A great opener!

The jaunty traditional melody (Here We Come A-Caroling) appears briefly in its original 6/8 time, before we're off on full-ensemble, straight-ahead swing. A brief sax soli and some short drum set interjections take the role of soloist. Nothing but holiday cheer from end-to-end. Top trumpet note: G 5.

A tremendously appealing chart that goes back and forth between a Latin island feel and a straight ahead be-bop swing feel. Includes an open section for solos by any instrument of your choosing (suggested solos are included) and a outstanding soli section featuring the saxes plus 1 trumpet. Also has two 4 bar drum breaks to turn the feel from Latin to swing. A perfect choice for concert or contest use! Very unique chart!

As recorded by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1974 on their Live In Tokyo album, this straight-ahead blues features solo space for piano, three trombones, and drums. Since the drum solo is unaccompanied and precedes the final sustained band chord, Thad's score indicates that it can be extended if desired.
