Absolutely Awesome
by Lennie Niehaus

For years, Lennie Niehaus has composed and arranged great music for jazz ensemble at all ability levels, and this work for advancing groups is no exception. Interesting chord changes and backgrounds combine with the ever-popular Charleston beat to create this memorable swing chart. You’ll find great ensemble writing, sax soli, and a swinging shout chorus. The solo section offers options to the conductor to assign ad lib or “as is” solos to several instrumental configurations. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Don’t miss this one! Duration ca. 4:30.
