Blue All Over

Here is a C minor blues with the flatted VI as a substitute for the IV chord. Modest ranges for all instruments the top trumpet note being Ab just above the staff. Can be used as written with three solos each for the reeds and trumpets culminating in a group improv for each section or played more directly with one solo per section. Piano and trombone solos as well. SampleSolo for piano only due to the nature of the group solos. Backgrounds and short direct soli for each section. All GateWay Jazz Ensemble titles are issued with individual pages for each part to facilitate the making of a fair use or archival copy as is standard practice. You get to lay out the parts to suit your musicians. AND there is NEVER a Big D.S. back to the middle of the chart as all GateWay arrangements are straight-through. No scrambling for quick pageturns. All repeats confined to a single page as well. Tempo is medium jazz. Full chords for piano in treble clef only. Bass and optional guitar are on a Uni-Part with changes and a written bassline. A high-quality MIDI file audio sample with some solos is provided to give the feel and sound of all GateWay Jazz Ensemble issues. You can hear the original combo recording on DOC001 CD "Guided Tour" from the Michael BB Quartet available from CD Baby. Enjoy!
