Blueport

Here's Al Cohn's arrangement of Art Farmer's tune Blueport, written for the "Gerry Mulligan Concert Jazz Band." This arrangement was performed live a few times in 1960, including at the Newport Jazz Festival. The arrangement features some interesting counterpoint as well as great backgrounds during the solo sections. This is a perfect chart for festivals as it allows the band to showcase individual members throughout the chart. It has been edited and engraved directly from the original parts; however, some of the arrangement was added by Mulligan. Those parts have been transcribed from the recordings and are included. Instrumentation: Clarinet/Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone/Clarinet, 2 Baritone Saxophones, 3 Trumpets, 2 Trombones, Bass Trombone, Bass and Drums. Ranges: Trumpet 1 to F6 and Trombone 1 to Bb4.
