Description:
Shorty Rogers was very well known for his 'nonet' charts (6 horns, 3
rhythm), and this was one of his best-loved compositions. Set in an easy, low swing, 'Pirouette' has a lilting melody, along with a lovely
counter-melody. This is a great chart to do on a big band concert to rest the band and feature your soloists. There is solo space for alto, tenor, flugelhorn, trombone and piano. (alto, tenor, barit. saxes, 2 flugelhorns, trombone, piano bass, drums).
