In its original version, this contemporary ballad featured alto sax soloist -- here tenor sax is the star -- but the rich harmonic character and lyrical qualities of the professional version have been retained. Developing players will need to practice the split triplets since they give the tune its loose, relaxed feelingbut that work will be well rewarded at concert time. Rhythm section parts are notated with chords cued, and a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included. Duration 3:10.

This chart really fills a void in literature for this level. It is designed to be played on synth with a cool electric piano sound, but we tried it with acoustic piano and it sounds great that way too. The piano part is completely written out- Frank's idea to create a contemporary sounding piece for a classically trained piano student is right on the money! Of course, it you are blessed with the student who is comfortable with improvising, so much the better.

I Saw Three Ships is not only an absolute perfect chart for your December concerts, but it’s so much fun to play that you should program it anytime! This 17th century English carol takes on a whole new life reset in a New Orleans second-line style groove.
