A Shade of Jade
In 1992 Joe Henderson and Don Sickler put together an all-star band to record A Shade of Jade and other charts that had been sitting around for many years. The idea was that the band would perform a concert of these arrangements at Lincoln Center and then later that week go into the studio to record. The concert was broadcast by NPR complete with interviews with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson. A second recording session was held four years later where arrangements by Bob Belden, Slide Hampton and Michael Philip Mossman were recorded. In 1998 the Joe Henderson Big Band album won a Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance. All of these arrangements feature lengthy solos for a tenor saxophone soloist. Included are open solo sections so that any number of soloists may be featured. These arrangements will require significant time to prepare, but they will be amazing for any competition or festival! Ranges: Trumpet 1 to D6; Trombone 1 to Bb4.
