Jazz ensemble - Level 5

SKU: NC.449

Composed by Neal Finn. This edition: Trumpet range to E6. Ballad. Score and set of parts. Published by UNC Jazz Press (NC.449).

(8-10 Brass) One of my best; actually two charts in one. May be performed as one composition with two sections or either "view" can be performed as an individual piece. A celebration of the Ellington tradition. View 1 is a lush, romantic ballad a la Warm Valley. View 2 is a good old back beat shuffle a la Things Ain't What They Used To Be. View 1 features bari solo in the style of Harry Carney. Difficult, but playable sax soli makes use of double time feel. Extended piano solo opens the piece, which has a beautiful melody. View 2 has tricky head with triplet rhythms that will drive you crazy. Solos for trumpet and trombone can be opened. Some Ellington plunger mute effects. Ends with a Cat Anderson style lead trumpet chorus. Worth the effort.
