Blues & Swing medium

features a great feel plus solos for trumpet and
tenor. There is tons of variety in this excellent chart
that will show off your band's ability to play and
change from style to style!

n Blue MonkThelonious Monk/arr. Mark Taylor.
One of the signature tunes from jazz legend
Thelonious Monk is this quirky and iconic blues!
This great-sounding version for big bands maintains
the medium swing feel and "Monk-isms" from
the original, but the arranger's own stamp of
originality is exemplified with crafty ensemble lines,
rhythmic twists, and some powerful full ensemble
statements in mixed meters. Solos are included for
tenor, trumpet and drums, along with marvelous
writing for the entire band. Suggested solos are
included along with chord/scale sheets in all keys.
Highly effective!

This chart features the sound of a New Orleans
funeral band historically known as the "Second
Line" behind the family and casket. It's a time
for celebration coming after the initial mourning
period. It's lots of fun to play in the style of a
funky, marching, dixieland band. The harmonic
form is the blues and there is room made for
soloing both inside the ensemble and for featured
soloists. The saxophone section features soprano
lead and optional flute and tuba parts are included.
A change-of-pace highlight with attitude!
