Oliver Nelson

J&B (Edited)

This Oliver Nelson melody was originally recorded with a small group. Bob Curnow took this great tune and arranged it for big band in a very hip way! Set in an easy swing feel, this chart has quite a bluesy feel to it while providing a nice variation to the standard blues changes that you might not expect. There is solo space for piano, alto saxophone and trombone. In this edited version, solos are written out (with changes provided), the high trumpet parts are re-voiced, and the saxophone rhythms are made easier to play. If you like Oliver Nelson's music, you'll love this chart! 5-4-4-3
