It's a Figure of Speech for Jazz Ensemble (PDF & MP3)
This swing chart kicks of with a punchy brass-vs-saxes bang, then settles into an easy-going unison melody punctuated by call-and-response style countermelodies. Students only need to know a single chord, B-flat 7, to improvise over the solo section, even though the background parts make it seem more complicated! An addictive riff-based section creates an exciting shout chorus climax leading into a D.S. out-chorus with a short coda. Your middle school or high school band will sound amazing with limited rehearsal and technical challenges, and your soloists can really shine even with limited experience.
This is an instant PDF download that you can print or send to your students digitally. It includes a full professional recording AND a solo section "play-along" track as MP3 files.
