American Patrol

Originally released in 1956, this easy level, swingin' arrangement of the iconic F.W. Meacham tune opens with a short, written alto sax solo before launching into a satisfying series of sax and brass solis, unisons and full ensemble shouts. All rhythm section parts are fully notated, brass rhythms are very accessible, and no improvisation is required. This chart for full big band is also playable by as few as 3 saxes, 3 brass and rhythm, and each set includes optional parts for tuba and vibes.
