Baker's Jazz and More One More Twice - Baker - Jazz Ensemble - Gr. 3

Composer: Paul Baker
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Jazz Ensemble
Style: Swing
Level: 3

Commissioned by the Florida Bandmasters Association, this straight ahead swing chart makes a bold entrance with the full ensemble before settling into a Basie style swing tune, first in the saxes and then in the trumpets. A solo break leads into the trombone solo, with backgrounds, and an alto sax solo follows, also with background figures. Sixteen bars of a capella ensemble come next before the bridge returns and the shout chorus that takes us to the final fermata. Trumpet range is to written high C. Trombone range is to G. Piano and bass parts are written out.
