St. james Infirmary

In this contemporary treatment of the traditional jazz tune, arranger and band director Mike Kamuf combines multiple generations in one chart. With a shuffle groove, the opening melody is stated by alto, tenor, trumpet and optional guitar in fourths. It features countermelody development, written solo space for tenor and trumpet, then an interlude that builds big into a powerful shout chorus to bring it home. It's a happening chart! Optional expanded instrumentation.
