This familiar tune works great for young jazz ensembles! You can't beat a classic tune set in a straight-ahead, upbeat swing style! This one will come together quite easily, since the lines fit together so naturally. Each of the horn sections get a chance on the melody, making it a fine showcase for the entire ensemble! Highly recommended!

5.4 On The Richter Scale is an upbeat modern-sounding swing chart that really cooks! Hip 5/4 blues sections are contrasted with a straight ahead swingin' 4/4 blues, which gives this chart its unique appeal. There are plenty of opportunities for your soloists to improvise on 4/4 blues changes, or with the written suggested solos included. It will sound great with full or reduced instrumentations. Tired of the same old blues? 5.4 on the Richter Scale is a really fresh chart for your next concert!
