Par JOHN ELTON. Elton John's classic hit from 1983, with its upbeat feel and message of perseverance, is as popular today as ever. This swinging version starts with trombones on the lead, followed by a turn for the saxes, and finally the full ensemble. Also included is a solo for alto sax. A well-scored arrangement that will sound great. / Date parution : 2022-05-03/ Répertoire / Jazz Ensemble

Here is one of John Mellencamp's biggest hits in a solid chart from Paul Murtha. This is energetic rock and roll at its best!

Ce tube emblématique des Eagles a résisté à l?épreuve du temps et reste toujours aussi populaire de nos jours qu?il l?était à sa sortie en 1979. Semblable à l?enregistrement de Michael Bublé (sur Crazy Love) cette chanson puissante au shuffle groove entraînant met en avant le saxophone baryton qui joue la mélodie et une orchestration excellente pour tout l?ensemble.

Composé par Gene McDaniels dans les années 1960 cet émouvant air de funk a été repris par de nombreux artistes. La version de John Wasson pour big band présente un groove remuant et une belle interaction entre les différents registres de l?orchestre. Un solo pour saxophone alto est suggéré ; mais celui-ci peut être adapté à tout autre instrument.

Originally recorded by Otis Redding in 1968 this hard-drving R&B classic has become a mainstay of pop culture covered by a wide range of artists including The Black Crowes King Floyd and The Grateful Dead. John Wassons updated version features thesignature horn licks powerful scoring and solo for tenor sax.
