Jazz ensemble (5-5-5-3) - Grade 2-3

SKU: S1.SMP-623

Composed by Victor Young. Arranged by Stan Kenton. The Stan Kenton Orchestra Library Series. Ballad. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-623).

Stan had a very definite style of arranging which, of course, was the basis of most of the music for his early bands. This chart is very simple but extremely effective. It begins with quiet trombones (5 parts), then piano, then the whole band at full volume, then an alto saxophone solo, then the sax section is featured, and then there is a quiet, wonderful ending with alto and rhythm alone. This chart was recorded many times, but it was first included in the Portraits on Standards album (featuring Art Pepper on the solo). A beautiful ballad and a real arranging masterpiece! 5-5-5-3.
