Trumpet Blues And Cantabile by Harry James Big Band - Sheet Music

By Harry James

A rip-snorting swing chart from the Harry James book. Trumpet Blues opens with a short band fanfare in half time, and then breaks into a driving swing boogie. The middle half-time Cantabile provides the contrast, but breaks back into swing boogie for the last choruses. A feature for your trumpet section, but be warned that they will need a few minutes to recover afterwards. You will need a good Trumpet section to play this arrangement. It is in the original Key of Bb, and modulates to D for the end choruses. A genuine crowd pleaser.Swing @ 180 - 210 b.p.m. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4 E6, D#6, B5, G#5 Trombones 1-4 Bb4, G4, F#4, F#

Bringing back memories

Having played this number when it as new as a very young trumpeter I was lucky to find, by chance, the site with an arrangement for Big Band. Ordering and transport were easily arranged and the well packaged score and parts arrived safely and on time.A very good arrangement of the original form was clearly printed and ready to go. It needs a very good trumpet section to do the arrangement (and the original memory) justice. For a good enough band there is a top notch item for your programs. For the aspiring group, a good target for the ambitious prepared to work towards the required level by using the parts and playing progressively section by section, like young athletes in training. Well worth the price for both kinds of band.
