Stardust

This Hoagy Carmichael standard from has remained a staple for jazz musicians for almost a century. With its haunting melody and lush chord progression, this ballad treatment of the tune features your tenor sax soloing through the melody, interspersed with melodic statements from the rest of the band. The solo section features an ad-lib tenor sax solo before the rest of the band returns to close out the tune. The lead trumpet plays up to an A just above the staff.
