Sweet Tea

Based on the chord changes from Stanley Turrentine's classic tune Sugar, this bluesy swing chart shows off the full range of your ensemble's style, dynamics, and swagger. Opening with a powerful ensemble statement, the melody follows with an alto/trumpet unison when the ante is abruptly upped by the brass announcing their presence. Sixteen bars of sax soli are followed by solos (written solos provided). A powerful shout section is followed by a group improvisation section, which leads to a recap of the intro and a strong finish. Trumpet range to written high C. Trombone to G. Piano and bass parts are written out.
