Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1285702 By Herbie Hancock. By Herbie Hancock. Arranged by John Yao. Instructional,Jazz,Latin. 70 pages. Yaotones Music #800645. Published by Yaotones Music (A0.1285702). This big band arrangement keeps the flavor of Herbie Hancock's classic tune with a few minor twists and turns added by composer, arranger John Yao.  The chart begins with a rubato chorale introduction that weaves in and out of several interesting reharmonizations.  The melody features a variety of colorful orchestrations, countermelodies and textures that lead to the solo section.  Solos in the Tenor Sax and Trumpet are followed by a vamp with ample space for a drum solo that builds to a soaring tutti out chorus.  The chart closes out with colorful cluster voicings that culminate in a light, understated pyramid.   This chart works well if you're looking to slow things down or need a change of pace in your program.Trumpet Range - Bb5Trombone Range - A4The YT Link track is performed by NYC based big band John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument.To view other arrangements by John Yao, please visit Sheet Music Plus, Sheet Music Direct, or Ejazzlines.For more info or questions, please visit www.johnyao.com or email me at john@johnyao.com.  Follow me on Instagram, Facebook and subscribe to my You Tube Channel.

Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1234212 By Andy Williams. By Harry Warren and Mack Gordon. Arranged by John Yao. Instructional,Jazz,Standards. 89 pages. Yaotones Music #829743. Published by Yaotones Music (A0.1234212). This hard swinging, up tempo arrangement is written in the style of the Count Basie Orchestra.  It starts out small with a Piano solo and builds throughout with additional solos in the Trumpet, Tenor Sax, and Trombone. The chart features simple unisons and 4-way closed textures and reads straight down easily with plenty of challenging ensemble passages throughout.  There's a lot of sectional writing and moments when the brass and woodwinds oppose one another.  After a temporary modulation to a new key for the Trombone solo, the piece returns to the original, customary key of Eb Major.  Following the solos, the chart climaxes on a big, tutti shout chorus exchange with the drums and a final big chord.  This arrangement works great at the end a set or concert program or even as an opener.Trumpet Range - Db6Trombone Range - A4The YT Link track is performed by NYC based big band John Yao and His 17-piece Instrument.To view other arrangements by John Yao, please visit Sheet Music Plus, Sheet Music Direct, or Ejazzlines.For more info or questions, please visit www.johnyao.com or email me at john@johnyao.com.  Follow me on Instagram, Facebook or subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
