Baylock. Here's Alan Baylock's contemporary

H Whiplash—Hank 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 be intimidated by the meter... it's
challenging, but after a few minutes it feels quite
natural and the 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!

a mini-clinic for each tune with a breakdown
of the spelled-out chord progressions and

gested solos give younger players a starting

in with the recorded band. Not only does this
collection provide outstanding performance
repertoire for small jazz groups, it is a
