Jazz Ensemble Jazz Ensemble - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.979626 Composed by Roger Aldridge. Jazz,Latin. Score and parts. 17 pages. Roger Aldridge #118879. Published by Roger Aldridge (A0.979626). Sleepy Creek Samba (for jazz soloist, 5 wind instruments, and rhythm section) is a bright and happy piece. This samba has an unusual structure. The theme is 18 bars. Importantly, the last 2 bars are intended to sound unresolved, with the ascending major 7th chords, and be a springboard for the soloist. Solos are based on this 18-bar form. After the solos and an ensemble soli (note its use of space), a second theme emerges. This theme has a 12-bar form, with two 6-bar phrases. It merges with 16 bars of the first theme. Finally, a short tag takes the tune out with a surprise ending. The score was originally conceived for woodwind quintet (with alto flute). Alternate parts are provided for an assortment of commonly-used wind instruments. In this way, the piece can be performed by various combinations of instruments. As another possibility, two (or more) musicians can be used on each wind instrument part. This option of having doubled parts -- with either same or different instruments on a part -- is an easy way for larger ensembles to perform this music. PARTS: The set of parts is available at SLEEPY CREEK SAMBA PARTS (S0.84829).

The catchy melody and triplet feel will provide many opportunities for growth in your developing jazz ensemble.Listening to recordings of the tune is a must for emulating the style of the piece. Two good reference recordings are found on the following albums:Night Train - Jimmy ForrestGrey's Mood Al Grey (w/ Jimmy Forrest)There's also a terrific Youtube video of Jimmy Forrest performing it with the Count Basie Orchestra.This chart can be done with the following instrumentation: Altos 1 + 2, Tenor 1, Bari, Trumpets 1-2, Trombones 1-2, Piano, Bass, and Drums. If you'd like me to make parts for other instruments (flute, horn, etc.), please reach out to me.I couldn't think of too many blues heads that'd be able to teach two essential jazz concepts (the blues and slow swing feel) that would be as catchy and as fun as Night Train. Your kids will be playing this tune a lot in the band room!Whenever chord symbols are present, bass players can make up their own bass lines and guitarists/pianists their own voicings. This chart's slow tempo and familiar harmonic structure can provide young players with a bridge to developing their own improvised bass lines and comping skills.The plunger work in the beginning is fun, but not required (in case you don't trust middle school students with plungers :))If your rhythm section players need easier or harder parts, let me know and I'm happy to provide.Feel free to add additional soloists if desired. The trombone solo can be repeated for additional soloists.Enjoy Night Train!

Owens (A0.898209). This is a fun, happy piece for jazz band for intermediate to upper-intermediate players. One might call it a jam. It features a catchy main tune, as well as a midsection that features different instruments. This piece also features a keyboard part alongside a piano part, giving the opportunity to feature two talented pianists. In addition, this piece includes a vibraphone part and a challenging drum set part, making this a great song to showcase an especially skilled percussion section.Overall, this peppy piece of music has plenty of unique charm to it, and of course--being a jazz band piece--includes a repeatable section open to improvisational solos, so that you can put your own spin on it as well.Your audience will enjoy listening to your performance as much as you enjoy playing it, and it will leave a single question on everyone's minds: Would I like a jam sandwich?
