Par VAN HEUSEN JAMES. Arranged in a comfortable medium swing style and featuring easy rhythms and ranges, this popular standard fits nicely in the easy level of the Little Big Band Series. Nice scoring for the entire ensemble, and no solos are required. / Date parution : 2022-11-29/ Répertoire / Big Band

Par ARNOLD HUGH. This chart is great for young bands but also perfect for professional dance bands. The optional instruments are skillfully used to add color and interest. Solos for trumpet and alto. Advance Music is proud to present our new Groovin Easy Series. We've taken 10 tunes from two popular Advance Music publications (Reading Key Jazz Rhythms and The Ramon Ricker Improvisation Series) and asked our writers to give us creative and musically challenging charts that are also playable by young bands. To the normal big band instrumentation of 5 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm section we've added optional parts for flute, clarinet, French horn, guitar and auxiliary percussion. In addition, each chart is written to sound full with a reduced instrumentation of only 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and rhythm section. The brass ranges are reasonable with the lead trumpet never going above a written C and the rhythm section parts are carefully notated and thought out. There is plenty of room for improvising, but just in case we've provided written solos./ Répertoire / Big Band

Depuis le Mingus Big Band Blues CD et politique!, Ce blues intense mineures s'ouvre avec un solo de basse, puis se déploie progressivement couche par couche jusqu'à ce que tout l'ensemble est criant. Comprend beaucoup d'espace en solo avec antécédents d'ensemble et des interludes. / Scores

Cette adaptation récente par le bassiste Boris Kozlov présente la composition Mingus merveilleuse dans un milieu riche contenant une variété de styles musicaux. Ouverture dans un style classiques, la pièce déplace rapidement à un tempo straight ahead swing avec riffs de corne angulaires et mélodies créatifs - typiquement Mingus ! Le groove rythmique alterne entre swing et une sensation de 6/8, et il existe des possibilités solos pour trompette et trombone. / Scores
