J & B

This great Oliver Nelson tune from the early '60s was originally recorded by a small group, but here it's been arranged for big band in a very hip way! Set in an easy swing shuffle feel, this chart has a bluesy feel while providing a nice, unexpected variation to the standard blues changes. There's improvised solo space for alto saxophone, trombone and piano. In this professional version, Oliver Nelson's solo has been transcribed and set as a trumpet soli. Very cool and fun to play! You'll really enjoy J B!
