Jazz ensemble - Grade 2

SKU: CL.032-4141-01

Composed by P. Clark. Jazz Ensemble. Audio recording available separately (item CL.991-2012-00). Extra full score. Composed 2012. Duration 3 minutes, 13 seconds. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4141-01. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4141-01).

Plays easy and sounds cool. That's the perfect combination found in this carefully-crafted blues tune for younger bands. The trumpets and bones take the lead, with the saxes providing interesting counter lines. Then several bars of full ensemble lead to an open solo section for any instruments over simple Blues changes, giving young players the opportunity to improvise. If they aren't quite ready for that yet, suggested solos are provided. After the solos, the bones, tenors and bari get to shine playing some fun unison licks which lead back to the whole band playing a big finish. This chart will sound great even for bands with limited experience, instrumentation, and rehearsal time. Don't Miss The Bus!

Composed by Jr. Vuono. Jazz Ensemble. Score and set of parts. C.L. Barnhouse #032-4788-00. Published by C.L. Barnhouse (CL.032-4788-00).

This happy, joyous medium-tempo gospel swing with a truly sunny disposition takes the listener in immediately and just does not let go! An animated full-ensemble introduction leads the way to the sun-beamy, chirrupy melody, at first presented by trumpet and alto over a stop-time rhythm section. The entire sax section takes the melody next, while the brass offer uplifting commentary by way of stop-time chords. Plunger-muted trumpet is featured at the solo section, with inspiring backgrounds from the ensemble; this section may be repeated as desired to feature additional solos. Some deft linear writing follows the solo section, providing exciting dialog throughout the ensemble before leading up to an intriguing and effective pyramid that leaps forward into the stirring shout chorus. A clever tag alights on the ending plagal cadence, offering a place for the plunger-muted Trumpet to shine above the final chord. Gather ‘Round is sure to bring a smile, and destined to be a mainstay!

This playful medium-tempo swinger features a smooth, self-assured melody that glides along a cool, slightly altered blues progression. Trumpet and alto sax carry the melody at first before passing it off to the brass section; saxophones cleverly punctuate the brass section with heavily accented chords. The saxophones take the melody the third time around, while the brass offers incisive interjections here and there. A solo section follows that features just the right amount of background writing that enhances the proceedings without ever getting in the way; the solo section may be repeated as desired to feature additional soloists. A swinging ensemble follows the solos, starting off at a simmer and gradually heating up to the exciting full-ensemble shout chorus. Don’t Let These Blues Fool You is sure to be a favorite for concert and contest!

The jaunty traditional melody (Here We Come A-Caroling) appears briefly in its original 6/8 time, before we're off on full-ensemble, straight-ahead swing. A brief sax soli and some short drum set interjections take the role of soloist. Nothing but holiday cheer from end-to-end. Top trumpet note: G 5.

But it's the trumpets who take command! If you want some flashy excitement at your next jazz concert, you just gotta Go For It!.
