Takin' It To The Streets by Michael McDonald Jazz Ensemble - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1887425

A fresh contemporary jazz and groove-based arrangement of "Takin’ It To The Streets" for voice and non-standard ensemble (two trumpets, alto saxophone, trombone, two electric guitars, bass, and drums).

Designed for mixed-ability secondary and tertiary ensembles, this arrangement reimagines the original through adaptive voicing, layered textures, and tightly integrated groove-based writing. Musical roles are redistributed across the ensemble, allowing horns, guitars, and voice to share harmonic, rhythmic, and melodic functions, resulting in a cohesive and highly interactive group sound.

Ideal for programs seeking contemporary repertoire that bridges soul, funk, and jazz styles while working effectively with expanded or non-standard instrumentation.

Full score and parts included.
