Here is a fun chart that provides the perfect vehicle to spotlight the unsung hero of the big band – the drummer. Mindful of the traditions established by such legends as Mel Lewis, Louis Bellson, Sonny Payne, Buddy Rich, and Harold Jones, great learning material is presented for developing groups by including a variety of textures and making effective use of softer dynamics, roaring ensemble work, and saxophone soli passages. This chart features Kendor Konvertible instrumentation, meaning it is playable by as few as 9 and as many as 17 players or anything in between. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson and optional parts for flute, clarinet, horn in F, tuba, and vibes. Duration 4:50.
