Hal Leonard Fly Me to the Moon - Howard/Sweeney - Jazz Ensemble - Gr. 1

Composer: Bart Howard
Arranger: Michael Sweeney
Format: Score and Parts with Audio Online
Instrumentation: Jazz Ensemble
Level: 1

Here is a good example of creative arranging using very limited technical demands. Michael has taken this familiar standard and converted it into a smooth-sounding Latin chart. A trumpet/alto duet starts things out, then the full ensemble gets into the act. No solos are required, however, a stop-time section features written or ad lib. drum fills.

Enjoy great flexibility with the Discovery Jazz series! Playable with 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, piano and drums.
