Low Bridge is the perfect chart for the star bass trombonist in your big band! While written as a bass bone feature, it could alternately be used to feature tuba, bari sax or even bassoon!! Based on the old Low Bridge (Erie Canal) everyone learned in grade school, this Basie-style swinger features a sax soli and optional solo space for piano and/or guitar. This is a great change of pace tune for any festival or concert. Don’t miss it!

Your young band will be swinging it now when they play this excellent chart by Les Aldrich.

Includes an open solo section (written suggested solos are included) and it is also playable with limited instrumentation. Very well written with young players in mind and it has lots of audience appeal. Check this one out for your developing band!

Jazz Ensemble - Grade 3

SKU: KN.52809S

Composed by Mike Tomaro. Kendor Archive Editions. Kendor Music Inc #52809S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.52809S).

UPC: 822795528091.

A gorgeous, introspective ballad adapted from the combo version recorded on Mike's latest CD, this solo feature for alto or soprano sax presents all member of medium-advanced bands with sufficient challenges. Two fortissimo climaxes punctuate the otherwise delicate nature of this piece, and short cadenzas for three soloists (piano, soprano sax, drums) in the opening bars give it a unique start. In his score notes, Mike emphasizes the importance of playing with rhythmic precision in a chart that combines a slow tempo with 16th-note figures.

Distinctive and impressive shuffle chart by noted TV composer/arranger Lenny Stack. Ranges are very accessible for this grade level and the shout chorus really jumps. VERY COOL!

An exciting up-tempo blues with solo space for trumpet or trombone and piano (opt. written solos provided). Even though the ranges are quite rea sonable, the ``shout chorus’’ really shouts! You can’t go wrong with any Lennie Niehaus chart, and this is clearly one of his best. A Real Winner!!

Solo space is reserved for soprano sax and flugelhorn in this lyrical ECM-ish kind of chart. Legato phrasing should prevail, and paying attention to good blend and balance will pay big dividends. Duration ca. 7:45.

Fully notated rhythm section parts, moderate brass ranges, a catchy melody and unique harmonies make this a favorite for festival performance! Intriguing!
