About this arrangement

Jazz ensemble (5-4-4-4) - Grade 4 SKU: S1.SMP-140 Composed by Bill Holman. Arranged by Bill Holman. The Bill Holman Big Band Series. From The Holman CD "In A Jazz Orbit". Swing. Score and set of parts. Published by Sierra Music (S1.SMP-140). Holman's writing is legendary, and this chart will just add to the legend. All of the great characteristics of Bill's music are here ....unison lines, counterpoint, simplicity, a great theme, and a series of swinging, roaring ensembles (without high trumpet parts). Certainly this is a great concert piece, but it is also a practical piece, great for warming up a band ...no demanding ranges, but lots of listening challenges. As recorded on "In a Jazz Orbit." 5-4-4-4.
