A Little Minor Setback

A Little Minor Setback is a slower swing chart built on an extended 16-bar minor blues. This relaxed original shifts between two and four feels to create subtle contrasts within the swing style, with the melody carried by a trio of tenor, trumpet and trombone at the beginning. Ideal for advancing groups, it features an exciting build before the open solo section for guitar, trumpet or trombone, with fat ensemble fills supporting the soloists. There's a flashy ensemble section after the solos before it returns to the original, more subtle feel. Very cool and very nice!
