UPC: 822795617207.

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.

UPC: 822795700503.

This tune has a comfortable tempo, easy ranges, well-balanced ensemble chorus and a very handsome harmonic structure. All parts are interesting and contribute to the whole picture. Trumpet, alto sax and piano have written solos, and the bass part is completely written out. In maintaining a jazz feel, eighth notes should not be played strictly, but must have a lazy feel (when playing two in succession, the second one is delayed). Although dynamics, tempo and sound are important, the feel of the jazz idiom is the top priority. Much care has been taken in the construction of this arrangement to meet this goal.
