By B.B. King. By Dave Brubeck. Arranged by John Gibson. Contemporary. Score and parts. 14 pages. JB Linear #4111503. Published by JB Linear (A0.582004).Dave Brubeck began experimenting with modern time signatures and harmonies in the 1950's and '60's. His "Take Five" album of 1959 was a revelation of what jazz could be in a modern sense. Blue Rondo A La Turk was on that album and uses a rhythm Brubeck heard on the streets of Turkey: 9/8 time, but divided into 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2-3. I have given this an advanced rating due to the challenge of playing these rhythms tightly at a fast tempo. This may be played by two saxophones of the same key (2 altos, 2 tenors, 2 bari's, 2 sopranos, etc.). The score is provided for reference only since the page turns are impossible. The parts are arranged for 3 side by side pages. Also, since this version takes after one done vocally by Al Jarreau there is a section where the musicians are invited to sing!
