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!
