Georgia on My Mind

This sultry, bluesy, laid-back swing treatment of the timeless classic offers so many great musical moments for your developing jazz groups. After the opening alto solo on the familiar melody, this tune gives your sax and trumpet sections a taste of the melody before a brief shout section leads into solos for trumpet and tenor sax. After the solos, the band cranks things up a notch with a swingin' chorus before the chart comes to a soft and eloquent close. This chart is the perfect change-of-pace tune that still swings hard and offers a lot of soulful moments.
