Jazz nonet - Medium
SKU: JL.JLP-7204
Arranged by Wynton Marsalis. Ballad, Jazz. Score and parts. Published by Jazz Lines Publications (JL.JLP-7204).Wynton says about Silent Night, "We were trying to capture the kind of swooning that goes on during the lights-out calm that sits over a city at night. That mood is set against the incredible purity of Kathleen Battle's voice, which is reminiscent of the Nativity scene, the beauty of this woman and her child. In my plunger solo, I'm emulating the town crier delivering the news through the streets of the city, taking the translation from the angel of Kathleen Battle."
Instrumentation: Full Score, Female Vocal, Reed 1: Alto Saxophone, Reed 2: Tenor Saxophone, Reed 3: Baritone Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, Drums.
