Saint Louis Blues

Victor Lopez gives this early jazz standard a contemporary flair for the youngest jazz bands! Beginning with a Latin/Bomba introduction, it quickly transitions to the familiar swinging, bluesy feel at about 126 bpm. This chart is easy to teach and play with the trumpet 1 range up to written D fourth line. Add a written alto sax solo and options for reduced or expanded instrumentation and you've got a super chart that's highly recommended!
