Lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff. Includes optional clarinet and vibes parts too!

Here's an effective bright swing piece scored in the popular Count Basie style that is designed to make advancing groups sound their very best. As in many Basie-style works, dynamics and articulations play a key role in any presentation. For optimum results in achieving a tight ensemble sound, the rhythm section sets the pace in the opening moments of the introduction. Since the drummer enters after 24 measures, the guitarist and bass lock tempo with the pianist, giving them the chance to learn self-reliance without the drummer policing the time and groove. The horns will fall easily into place once this feel is established. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson. Duration 3:15. Available in SmartMusic.

Feature your pianist with this very hip rock ballad. Contemporary in style, ala Bob James, it will sound great when performed on a Rhodes’’ or Synthesizer. Most of the piano solo is written, but does have a nice little ad lib’’ section over simple chord changes near the middle. The band parts really compliment the soloist and make this a very worthwhile selection.
