This chart will be enjoyed by the band, the audience, and you too!

The chart is catchy, easy to rehearse, and very effective with a great development section and a stop-time interlude. Listen to it, you'll love it! (3:45).

A ballad is the great way to feature a strong soloist, but what if the ballad is not written to feature the correct instrument? Afterglow solves this problem by including solo parts and ensemble parts in EACH PART of the jazz ensemble. Any player in the band can play the solo part while the rest of the players play their ensemble parts. Correlated with the Standard of Excellence Advanced Jazz Ensemble Method, the improvisation portion of the solo part includes a written out embellished version of the melody. - Beginning Level Jazz Charts - Flexibly orchestrated so that they can be played with as few as 9 players. - Everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section. - Includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate successful improvisation.
