Charleston is an arrangement of the Cecil Mack & Jimmy Johnson 1923 classic for 17-piece Big Band. There are 2 alternative combinations for the reed parts:

Clarinet (alto 1); Sax 1 (alto 2); Sax 2 (tenor 1); Sax 3 (tenor 2); Sax 4 (baritone)

Clarinet (tenor 1); Sax 1 (alto 1); Sax 2 (alto 2); Sax 3 (tenor 2); Sax 4 (baritone)

The rest of the parts work as normal although the guitar part can be replaced with banjo if there happens to be one to hand!

This piece is also available as a saxophone quartet (SATB) and saxophone octet (SSAATTBB).
