Adventures

This creative chart is a wild trek through multiple styles and energy levels. Part of the Metroplexity Big Band series, it's reminiscent of modern wind ensemble overtures. Adventures includes a rubato introduction, a Baroque bridge, a bass melody, and a huge ending, all set to a driving rock groove in 6/4, felt in two! Improvised solo space for lead alto on soprano sax includes suggested scales. Optional woodwind doubles include soprano sax on flute, alto 2 on flute, tenors 1 and 2 on clarinet, and baritone on bass clarinet. The trumpets double on flugels. The electric bass player will need to shed on this one, but the results are worth it!
