This arrangement of Peter Erskine's Bulgaria is a real tour de force for the entire ensemble, and always brings the audience to its feet. It features solo space for trombone, soprano sax, piano (or optional vibes), and drums, as well as a wild and exciting section with five soprano saxophones in unison, reflecting the intense feeling of certain kinds of Bulgarian folk dances. Clarinet may be substituted for some of the sopranos, if necessary.

Yes, the Michael Jackson rock hit arranged for your young jazz band. Played around 114 BPM with modest ranges, nice voicings, and a written-out easy to play bass solo (cued for trombone or bari sax). This is an easy to play yet fun crowd pleaser for sure. (2:45).
