Duration 418. Jan Erik Paulsen #dridYor4hhatM4MmDeSkr. Published by Jan Erik Paulsen (A0.1118833). Key: C major.This is a relatively easy-to-play big band arrangement of an iconic tune by Miles Davis from the album Kind of blue. So What is the earliest and most excellent example of modal jazz, which is more based on scales than chords. The scales applied are D-Dorian and Eb-Dorian. This opens for the solo player to concentrate on the melodic direction rather than be guided by chords. Hence, the soloists in this arrangement should practice their improvisations in D-Dorian (Dm7) and Eb-Dorian (Ebm7). The arrangement would be useful for amateurs, student big bands and even professional big bands with a Miles Davis project on the repertoire.

Dubba C Music #850377. Published by Dubba C Music (A0.1257042). Spirit of 7 to 6 is a modal jazz tune by George West. Composed in the 1970s around the time of the American bicentennial celebration, the title also refers to meter changes between 7/4 (written as 4/4+3/4) and 6/4. Your soloists only need to know two scales to solo on this tune: C dorian minor and Ab mixolydian. Range and technical demands are moderate. After the statement of the melody, an open solo section leads to a sax soli, then a great shout chorus. If you are looking for a change of pace for your concert or assessment program, this is an excellent choice!Grade: 3+Ranges:Trumpet: C6Trombone: G4 About George West: Trombonist and educator George West (1931-2013) was founder and head of the jazz program at James Madison University for 25 years, from 1971 until his retirement in 1996.
