February Free Jazz Arrangement - Beautiful Love for Sextet

For February’s arrangement we have “Beautiful Love” (Wayne King, Victor Young, Egbert Van Alstyne) scored for jazz sextet. This arrangement features a few subtle alternate changes, as well as some ensemble figures to aid in bringing the melody to life!

It is important to note that during the solos (on the whole form - first ending and second ending) the changes should line up 2 beats or 4 beats per chord. The anticipations written into the head should straighten out.

Enjoy! 

Instrumentation:

Trumpet

Tenor Sax

Trombone

Rhythm Section

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Solo Jazz Trombone Videos - Started this week!

Greetings All!

I wanted to take a chance to share with everyone, my latest project! I've started a YouTube video series that will feature some solo trombone arrangements of some of my favorite tunes from jazz composers.

The first one features a composition by the great JJ Johnson, his tune Judy. Judy was originally recorded by JJ along with Kai Winding on "The Great Kai and JJ" released on Impulse! in 1961.

The arrangement is pretty simple - and opening melodic statement followed by a few improvised choruses and the melody restated. Hope you enjoy! Please do leave feedback in the comments section of the YouTube video, and subscribe to the channel to see the next video!

See ya next time! Happy Superbowl Sunday!
