n Mercy, Mercy, MercyJosef Zawinul/arr. Dallas
Burke. This sultry jazz standard from Joe Zawinul
has been covered by so many artists through the
years, it's hard to keep count. This dynamic jazz
ensemble arrangement begins with the feel of the
original combo version as tenor sax plays a written
or ad lib solo before the band enters to crank up the
energy. Next, trumpet 2 has a written or improvised
solo before the entire ensemble eloquently
reintroduces the theme. Things heat up quickly
as the entire ensemble shouts with a funky chorus
before the ending. Your band is going to shine with
this great arrangement of a super standard!
