Got the 'Leap Frog' chart for a community big band gig. The Les Brown version by Paul Lavender is a classic, and this Grade 3 arrangement keeps the authentic swing feel. Having the full score and parts is always a plus. It's an easily recognizable tune that sounds good without needing excessive rehearsal, making it practical for session work.

The Hal Leonard publication ensures a clear layout, aiding in rhythm and reading development. Ideal for school and community bands looking to perform a true classic.

I absolutely love playing this "Leap Frog" arrangement! As an adult learner, I appreciate that it's a Grade 3, adapted for younger groups, making this Les Brown classic totally achievable. It captures that authentic big band swing sound without being overwhelming. It's genuinely fun to play a piece that sounds so much like the original – highly recommend for enjoyment!

As a collaborative pianist in a big band setting, I found the piano part in this "Leap Frog" arrangement well-integrated. The Grade 3 level ensures clear voicings, effectively supporting the brass and sax sections. While not a vocal piece, the piano's role in this authentic swing big band arrangement is harmonically solid and provides excellent rhythmic drive for the ensemble's lead instruments.
