Charles Mingus: Jelly Roll: Jazz Ensemble: Score & Parts

One of the most engaging and lighthearted of all Mingus' compositions this was originally meant to provide a musical bridge from Jelly Roll Morton to Mingus' own unique compositional voice. Here is a marvelous version for bigband that alternates between a medium slow 2-beat feel and straight ahead swing. Includes solos for trombone alto and trumpet.
