depicting the relationship between an ambitious
student musician and an abusive, yet respected

with solo space for both on easy chord changes.
Articulation is critical and the rhythm section may

lead trumpet range is to written D above the staff.
This is a unique but very desirable chart to have
in your library. You won't regret playing Whiplash!
