Description:
Dear Old Southland is an up-tempo, riff-style chart from the earlier days of the Goodman band. We have taken the original arrangement and expanded it to suit a full 5444 big band line-up. The chart features solos for Trumpet, Clarinet, Tenor, Trombone 2 and Piano. All of the original solos are written out, though can be improvised from the chords if preferred, with the exception of the Trumpet and Trombone solos which are played as written, as they take the melody lead. The reeds are scored for CAATT with no Clarinet doubles in the saxes.
