Sierra Music Publications Connections - Darling - Jazz Ensemble - Gr. 4

Composer: Patty Darling
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Jazz Ensemble (5-5-4-5 (opt. vibes))

This chart was commissioned for the Fred Sturm Jazz Celebration Weekend and is one of Patty's best charts yet. Patty Darling's writing career has skyrocketed because of her ability to write relevant, interesting contemporary music, especially for younger players. This piece is based on a terrific Hip Hop / Swing groove that you won't be able to get out of your head. It's a guarantee that your band will love this new piece by Patty. Solos are indicated for trumpet and guitar (or piano). You'll hear echoes of Patty's chart on the Radiohead classic "Idioteque" without all the demands of that chart. Moderate ranges for all makes this a very accessible chart for most bands.
