Big Pocket by Kim Richmond Big Band - Sheet Music

SKU: WA.50443

This is straight down the middle basic jazz swing, at a comfortable middle tempo waling groove (120). Lots of ensemble, shout choruses, loud and soft. Written in a basic Thad Jones style, the beginning theme is light muted brass and saxes with flute on top. The solo section is a slightly extended blues featuring tenor sax and trombone. A meaty sax soli is followed by a soft ensemble shout which then builds extensively to a long full-blown tutti. If you life basic "in the pocket" stuff, you'll like this one. Alto 1 doubles flute. optional parts for French horns, tuba, and percussion.
