Commi ssioned by Scott Prebys and the University of Mary Jazz Ensemble, this Mantooth original funks out from top to bottom. Solo honors go to alto and guitar, and in his score notes Frank says this chart is meant to be fun and raucous, not intellectually demanding. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Trumpets are asked to double on flugel, and an optional part for vibes contributes extra color and depth.

Solo Piano and Jazz Band Full Score. Composed by George Gershwin. Edited by Ryan Paul Bañ and agale. Edition Schott. Jazz. Softcover. 112 pages. Duration 1020 seconds. Schott Music #GIGE2101. Published by Schott Music (HL.49047270).

The names of George Gershwin (1898-1937) and Ira Gershwin (1896-1983) are synonymous across the globe with American musical creativity. The Gershwin family estates, their publishers, and the University of Michigan have joined forces to produce The George and Ira Gershwin Critical EditionÂ?the first-ever scholarly edition of the Gershwins' music and lyrics. This all-new practical edition facilitates both study and performance, giving a wide audience of musicians, scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike greater insight into the Gershwins' art. The goal is to create clear and definitive publications that achieve the most accurate representations possible of the Gershwin brothers' unique and pioneering creativity. This all-new critical edition of the original 1924 arrangement of George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue presents an authoritative transcription of arranger Ferde Grofé's handwritten holograph score preserved in the collection of the United States Library of Congress in Washington, DC. The edition represents as best as possible the piece as premiered by the Paul Whiteman Orchestra at his â??Experiment in Modern Musicâ? concert on February 12, 1924. Grofé prepared the score for the specific talents and timbres of the Whiteman Orchestra, largely from an ink fair copy of Gershwin's two-piano short-score manuscript. Gershwin continued to modify the piano solo portion of this short score during rehearsals and, most likely, even after the premiere of the piece.

Recor ded by the University of North Texas Lab Band, this medium advanced swing tune brings to mind the legendary collaborations of Gil Evans and Miles Davis. Written to portray the vibrant arts district of the same name in Pittsburgh, the challenges here involve compositional rather than technical elements since the texture is largely contrapuntal and requires a linear approach by all players. Flute doubles appear in the soprano and alto sax parts, all trumpets double on flugelhorn, and there are five parts for each brass section. Solos are given to tenor and trumpet.
