Big band - Medium to difficult

SKU: WA.55053

Composed by Bob Washut. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.55053).

Commissioned by the family of the late Dr. Ed Ceilley for the University of Northern Iowa Jazz Band One, "Medicine Man" is cast in a even 8th, "ECM-ish" groove ala Jack DeJohnette. Featured soloists are alto sax (quasi-Kenny Garrett) and piano. A short middle section featues some very playable woodwind doubles (altos on flute, tenors on clarinet and bari on bass clarinet). There are no real technical challenges, just a musical ones: vibraphone and guitar are essential colors. Instrumentation: 5 saxes (w/doubles.), 4, 4, and 5 rhythm (v-p-g-b-d). Lead trumpet to Eb above the staff.
