Lil' Hefty

Ideal for young jazz bands, this moderately slow swinger is a tribute to legendary composer Neal Hefti. Lil' Hefty is a melodic chart with well-noted articulations, written-out rhythm section parts, and written melody solos for trumpet and piano, all at about 80-92 bpm. The trumpet 1 range is to G top of staff and is playable with optional reduced or expanded instrumentation. Here's a great little chart for change-of-pace programming and teaching an important jazz style!
