Schmoozin' the Blues

Feature your saxes as well as your full jazz band with this medium-tempo blues in F that really swings! With lots of ensemble writing that sounds big but stays playable, this chart can be performed by almost any developing ensemble. The solo section features a first solo that is written or improvised by trumpet followed by a wonderful ensemble interlude featuring the saxophone section, then a second solo by trombone before more outstanding ensemble work that leads to the satisfying finish. With its nice feel throughout, this chart is highly recommended!
