H WhiplashHank Levy/arr. Erik Morales.
Featured in the 2014 movie "Whiplash," depicting
the relationship between an ambitious student
musician and an abusive, yet respected instructor,
this chart is a super-exciting work in 7/4 composed
by Hank Levy and arranged by Erik Morales. Don't

students will totally groove on it. The melody is
stated by 2nd trumpet and 1st alto with solo space
for both on easy chord changes. Articulation is
critical and the rhythm section may want to spend
some quality time together. The 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!
