Big band - Medium

SKU: JL.LL-1052

By Count Basie. Arranged by Myles Collins. Swing. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1052).

Beaver Junction is another classic swing chart from the Basie band, and part of the continuing Basie re-creation project. Written by Harry Edison, this chart, whilst still being a punchy swing tune, shows the way for others such as Cute, as unison muted Trumpets take the melody. There are a couple of fine Sax soli pasages in this arrangement, a small cameo solo for Trumpet 2, and the Basie piano intro that became something of a hallmark. Not technically difficult, this chart requires precision and good section work to do it justice. Great for dancing or concert work. No sax doubles. Swing @ 160 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: E6, C6, C6, C6 Trombones 1-4: A4, F4, C4, Bb3.
