Jazz Ensemble - Grade 3.5

SKU: KN.52050S

Composed by Thad Jones. Kendor Archive Editions. Kendor Music Inc #52050S. Published by Kendor Music Inc (KN.52050S).

As recorded by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra in 1974 on their Live In Tokyo album, this straight-ahead blues features solo space for piano, three trombones, and drums. Since the drum solo is unaccompanied and precedes the final sustained band chord, Thad's score indicates that it can be extended if desired.
