SKU: JL.LL-1086

By Ted Heath. Arranged by Myles Collins. Swing. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1086).

This version of Swingin' Shepherd Blues is transcribed from that played by the late, great Ted Heath. Unusually for a swing chart the tempo is pretty slow, but very effective nonetheless. This chart is a real contrast of dynamics, because it alternates from one or two reeds plus rhythm, to tutti fortissimo and back again. This arrangement makes a great concert piece and is equally suitable for strict tempo dancing. Lead Alto is on Soprano Sax throughout, and 2nd Alto is on Clarinet throughout. Trumpets 1-4 D6, B5, A5, F#5 Trombones 1-4 Bb4, G4, E4, E4.
