Big band - Medium to difficult

SKU: WA.53029

Arranged by Richard Percival. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.53029).

Written as a tribute to the great lead alto player Johnny Hodges, this chart uses the conventional harmonic and rhythmic language of the era. Basically a blues with a bridge "Hodge" develops in a conventional manner with space for two soloists and a rousing shout chorus to set up the last statement of the head. With even a young rhythm section, "Hodge" should set up a great "laid-back" groove and be a great deal of fun to play. All sections of the band get to play an integral part with the rhythm section and saxes features. Written for 2 altos, 2 tenors, baritone, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, piano, acoustic bass, drums and optional guitar. This piece should be an enjoyable addition to the repertoire of all bands ranging from high school bands, of a reasonable standard, to professional outfits.
