Jazz ensemble - Medium-Easy

SKU: S1.SMP-1203S

Composed by Ray Bryant. Arranged by Oliver Nelson. The Oliver Nelson Big Band Series. Latin. Score. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-1203S).

New York-style Latin is the foundation for this infectious groove and catchy melody. Oliver Nelson's arrangement of "Shake A Lady" is a great chart that will cause your band's heads to sway and your audiences to want to clap along. Originally recorded by Cannonball Adderley on his album Domination, this chart is packed with groove and fun! With the melody stated by an alto saxophone and trumpet duet, the ensemble takes on the role of the "backup singers." There are even percussion parts to keep the trumpet players happy when they are not playing. There is some short solo space for trumpet and alto saxophone. The ranges are quite moderate. There's nothing tricky about this tune - just good ol' fashioned groovy fun! 5-4-4-3.
