RACONTEUR (The Storyteller)

A unique jazz-rock ballad for concerts and contests. Includes flute, flugelhorn and tuba players. Suitable for programming by both student and professional ensembles.

RACONTEUR (The Storyteller) is a modern jazz-rock ballad composition written and arranged for a modified large jazz ensemble instrumentation. Parts for C Flute and Tuba are scored to add those unique timbres to the ensemble sound.

Rather than feature a single instrument, the melody is purposely distributed throughout the ensemble. However, the musical focal point of the piece is intended to be the featured improvisation solo space provided for Bb Tenor Saxophone 1. Since each improvisation is original and unique, the music should retain a newness with each performance. A theory sheet is also provided for less experienced improvisers to enhance soloist creativity within the intended harmonic context.

Scored for groups performing at the medium level (grade 2.5 - 3.0), the unique chord progression provides the soloist with myriad possibilities from which to construct improvisational melodies. Improvisation is a key element of jazz music. Thus, this improvised solo will also inherently impact the level and quality of the entire sound of each ensemble performance.

Brass ranges are purposely kept very reasonable. Piano part includes through-composed material along with written chord voicings. Bass & Drum Set Guide share the same part in an effort to encourage the two players to interact rhythmically to enhance the jazz-rock groove feel of the piece. Rhythm section parts are annotated with chord symbols. Mockup available.

Dah Duh Daht! is a great jazz ensemble chart for 1st year jazz bands at the middle school or high school levels. The main objective of the chart is to teach basic swing concepts, along with simpler piano voicings and bass lines for your first year jazz students. Dah Duh Daht! is the literal articulation and rhythm translation of the main motif of the tune that is passed around the brass and saxophone sections.

Dah Duh Daht! also uses a 12-bar basic blues form in the key of Bb, which also makes it a great chart to teach jazz improvisation and blues form. Feel free to download my other free resources to help teach the basics of jazz rhythm and jazz improvisation.

Parts include flute, alto sax, tenor sax, bari. sax, trumpet 1 & 2, trombone 1 & 2, guitar, piano, bass, and drums.

By Justin Hurwitz. By Justin Hurwitz. Arranged by Ryan Hudson. Jazz,Rock. 77 pages. Ryan Hudson #1066196. Published by Ryan Hudson (A0.1489336).

'Welcome' is a fantastically unique composition that accompanies the opening party scene from the film 'Babylon'. Born in the mind of composer Justin Hurwitz (composer of La La Land, Whiplash and First Man) he set out to create a soundtrack inspired by both rock and jazz. By using the instrumentation of jazz bands of the late 1920's and techniques found in rock songs of the early 80's - his work culminated to produce music that could only be described as 'riff-based jazz'. This arrangement aims to capture the essence of the composition 'Welcome' with punchy, in-your-face tutti sections and crazy melodic motifs; this piece will undeniably excite listeners and get the audience dancing.

This PDF Includes the Full Conductor's score and all the instrumental parts. The First Trumpet and Saxophone Solo are transcribed.
