Technical Notes: The 2nd tenor sax, baritone sax, 3rd trumpet, 2nd trombone, 3rd trombone, guitar and bass parts are optional.
Teaching aids for the director: Make sure your players thoroughly understand the concept of "swing 8th notes" before playing this composition. To achieve a good jazz feel it is very important to use a legato style of tonguing ("du") on most notes. Eighth notes in this style should be smooth and connected, and not choppy sounding. Staccato notes and "roof top" accents should be articulated as "dot".
The section at measure 27 may be played using a trumpet solo or soli the first time, then a trombone solo or soli the 2nd time. For any adventurous improvisors, the blues scale will work for the entire solo section. Make sure the rhythm section and saxophones play softly as not to cover up the soloist or section being featured. At measure 36, the saxes should play out strongly during their soli feature. For the "shout chorus" at measure 57, be sure to observe the dynamic markings carefully.
Throughout this arrangement, the left hand in the piano part duplicates the bass part and should be played lightly, or not at all if a bass player is present.
