FLEX Jazz Ensemble | Grade 1.5
A timeless jazz standard with an irresistible melody built on a rising sequence, this fully flexible arrangement works with as few as five players plus rhythm, or a full ensemble---winds, strings, or any combination. Ranges are limited, and a transcribed solo (plus an easier version) is included for all instruments. Piano and bass parts feature notated comping to support the youngest players. A versatile, accessible, and endlessly playable chart.
Some ideal combinations include:
Jazz combo: alto sax, trumpet, tenor sax, trombone, bari sax (as recorded)
Saxophone section plus rhythm: alto, alto, tenor, tenor, bari
Brass quintet plus rhythm: trumpet, trumpet, horn, trombone, tuba
String orchestra plus rhythm: violin, violin, viola, cello, section bass
Or go wild—mix and match to your heart's content!
