Scarborough Fair

Arranged for the wonderful saxophonist Chris Vadala, this English folk song has been fashioned as a contemporary-sounding chart in D minor that moves from a loose, open swing to a straight-ahead swing groove. Terrific development of melodic material from the tune is paired with a recurring triplet figure that ties the chart together. Solo space for tenor saxophone and trumpet (with Harmon mute) is included. Make sure your lead trumpet has some chops as it gets up to an E! This is a unique must-have chart for a developed band. Highly recommended!
