Lakeside Breeze

This medium-tempo swinger played around 120 bpm is perfect for the concert hall or a lazy afternoon. Everyone gets to play the melody, and this chart is a perfect introduction to swing style for the rhythm section. It begins with a unison section that breaks into harmony and then some counter parts. The open solo section provides an opportunity for anyone to solo on just a single scale with the included scales sheets, or with the written solos included on all the parts. The instrumentation is completely flexible for almost any jazz group, no matter what shape or size. This one is extremely nice at a basic level!
