Ping Pong
by Lennie Niehaus

Are you looking for a solid, sophisticated chart that is accessible to aspiring jazz musicians? Well, your search is over. Film writer Lennie Niehaus knows how to make developing players sound their best. The title of this cleverly conceived original refers to the conversational interplay between the sax and brass sections. Playable by as few as 9 and as many as 17 players or anything in between, this piece includes a chorus where everyone plays a soli in unison, a writing device used effectively by Bill Holman, Rob McConnell, and others. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional parts for flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba, and vibes. Duration ca. 4:05.
