Description:
The Wizard of Oz has given us many great melodies that lend themselves to the jazz style. With the sax section featured throughout, no individual solos and lots of ensemble work, this one is a textbook swing chart perfect for young musicians. Dotted-eighth rhythms work so well with this tune that it just about plays itself. Mike Lewis knows how to score an arrangement for young bands: easy to learn, great sounding and, most important, fun to play!
