While not traditional vocal accompaniment, the piano part in this Grade 4 concert band arrangement provides excellent harmonic and rhythmic drive. Nestico's masterful scoring ensures the piano supports the ensemble's brass and solo trumpet 'voices' beautifully, rather than doubling. It's integral to the overall big band swing texture, requiring a pianist with a strong grasp of jazz harmony to underpin the vibrant lead lines effectively.

As an adult learner in a community band, this Sammy Nestico arrangement is a joy. The Grade 4 difficulty is challenging but very rewarding, especially playing classics like 'Ciribiribin.' It truly feels like playing authentic big band swing, making us sound fantastic. It's a wonderful opportunity to relax, enjoy great music, and develop ensemble skills. Highly recommend for any enthusiast playing in a concert band!
