American Boy — Contemporary rock/pop ensemble By Estelle Swaray, William Adams, Caleb Speir, Kanye West, Joshua Lopez, Keith Harris. Arranged by Luke Greenhalgh and Dan Ford for contemporary rock/pop ensemble, including parts for rhythm section, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone, and trombone. This arrangement is gig-tested and designed for ease of reading during the heat of a live gig. All parts include chord changes for improvised solos or embellishment of backing parts. N.B. This arrangement does not include lyrics, the melody, or a vocal part. The parts are designed for live performance with a vocalist that knows the melody and lyrics. American Boy is the breakout hit from Estelle’s 2008 album Shine. This arrangement features a combined Rhythm Section part with clear chord spellings and rhythmic cues for bass guitar, drum kit, guitar, and piano. Additionally, the arrangers have included original backing parts for alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and trombone to add depth of textures and dynamics to the arrangement. The horn parts include up to the three voices in harmony allowing a choice of which horn takes the first, second, or third part. The tenor saxophone can be doubled by Bb trumpet, making the appropriate octave transpositions. Find more arrangements by Dan Ford at www.danfordmusic.com.
