Movin' Easy

This hard-swinging chart begins with the piano stating the entire melody and offering a chance to show off the rhythm section on its own before the ensemble kicks in for the second chorus. Tenor sax and trumpet solos are provided and are based on the chord changes of Duke Ellington's classic Don't Get Around Much Anymore. A 16-bar a cappella ensemble section shows off the horns before the rhythm rejoins at the bridge to close out the chart – almost. The piano and rhythm section take us the rest of the way, a la Count Basie, to a signature ending. Trumpet range is to written high C; trombone range is to G. Bass and piano parts are written out.
