Description:
As Recorded by Benny Carter
Jazz Big Band Arrangements
Here is the 1933 Benny Carter classic slightly re-composed for the American Jazz Orchestra in 1986. This has the famous 1933 saxophone soli, taken directly from the parts that remained in Benny's library. As Benny continued to perform and teach over the years, he adapted his arrangements to fit a full big band of 8 brass. However, he never modified this arrangement. So, this publication remains true to the instrumentation of his early recording (5 reeds, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, guitar, piano, bass, and drums). There are 8-bar solos for trumpet and piano and an open solo for alto saxophone that may be opened up to feature any number of soloists. Other than the saxophone soli, this arrangement is easy to play. If you're looking for a great concert or festival piece to feature your saxophone section, here it is! Ranges: Trumpet 1: to B5; Trombone 1: G4
Swing - Medium
Full Score, 2 Alto Saxophones, 2 Tenor Saxophones, Baritone Saxophone, 3 Trumpets, 3 Trombones, Guitar, Piano, Bass, Drums
