Big band - Level: medium

SKU: WA.52601

Arranged by John Paulson. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.52601).

This work is a medley of 3 previously recorded pieces of contrasting style, meter and tempos: "Cloud Theory" is a haunting ECM-like ballad which has solo opportunities for tenor or alto; this quickly transitions to "Sum Blues" which is a medium swing minor blues with a bridge containing a section of various solos that get added together with each chorus or "collective solos." The closing piece, "Café LeRenoir" is another ECM influenced work but done as a slow jazz waltz. Medium difficulty level 4. The brass ranges are easy trumpet 1 written to Bb5 (just above the staff ) and E4 (trombone) but the transitions and chord changes are rather challenging. The medley can be heard on the John Paulson Big Band Project CD & DVD. 5 saxes, 4 tpts., 4 trbs., pn, b, drs. gtr. Medium.
