SKU: S1.SMP-1210

Composed by Walter Becker & Donald Fagan. Arranged by Fred Sturm. The Fred Sturm Big Band Series. Rock. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1210).

The music of Steely Dan has come to Sierra Music! Originally arranged for the HR Big Band (Germany), the late, great Fred Sturm has given us another rock chart worthy of any band's library. In typical Sturm fashion, the beginning of "FM" is a kaleidoscope of independent fragments culminating with the original Steely Dan intro as it moves into the melody played by clarinets. While Fred's arrangement certainly "rocks," there is a depth and warmth in the stating of the melody before it rips into a tenor saxophone solo. There is also space for a shredding guitar (or trumpet) solo. Ending in clever fashion, this chart will be great for any band wanting to give their audiences something new! 5-4-4-4 (opt. marimba/vibes).
