About this arrangement

Big band (Alto Sax 1, Alto Sax 2, Tenor Sax 1 (Solo), Tenor Sax 2, Baritone Sax, Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, Trumpet 3, Trumpet 4 (Solo), Trombone 1 (Solo), Trombone 2, Trombone 3, Bass Trombone 4, Piano, Bass, Drums) - intermediate SKU: M7.SMP-1249 Swing. Composed by Oliver Nelson. Arranged by Bob Curnow. Sheet music. Score and parts. Handelsware #SMP 1249. Published by Handelsware (M7.SMP-1249). As recorded by the Oliver Nelson Orchestra on their album Berlin Dialogue for Orchestra, "Checkpoint Charlie" is some of Nelson's most creative writing. Full of up-tempo energy, Oliver masterfully intertwines the melody in the saxophones with counter-lines from the brass to create an incredible tapestry of sound. There is plenty of solo space for trombone to stretch out, giving a great contrast from the full ensemble sections to the lone soloist with rhythm section. This "edited" version maintains the integrity of Oliver's original recording while simplifying some of the rhythms, making brass ranges more accessible, and providing solo space for tenor, trumpet, or trombone. 5-4-4-3.
