Northwest Journey
by Lennie Niehaus

Here’s a medium swing original for advancing groups by film composer Lennie Niehaus that’s sure to be a hit with players and audiences. Beginning with an introduction that quotes the main theme, the riff-like melody utilizes variations of the “Charleston” rhythmic figure. There are strategically placed interludes, and a suggested or ad lib solo for trumpet. After the exciting shout chorus, the coda consists of two-measure phrases alternating with two-measure drum solos. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 3:25.
