Bedouin
A recording of Bedouin appeared on Duke Pearson's first big band album. This chart has a little of everything: woodwind doubles, brass in various mutes, and meter changes. Yet this is not a difficult composition to play, and can be opened up for solos. Because there are parts of the piece where different mutes are used for each member of the brass, and there are mixed woodwinds, balance is a particular issue. Each part should blend with the rest of the section, and individuals should compensate accordingly. Ranges: Trumpet 1 to C#6; Trombone 1 to B4.
