Baker Street Movin' Easy - Baker - Jazz Ensemble - Gr. 3

• Model # PBJ-30061

Composer: Paul Baker
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Jazz Ensemble
Grade: 3

Movin' Easy swings hard, beginning with the piano stating the entire melody, and offering a chance to show off the rhythm section on its own before the ensemble kicks in. Tenor sax and trumpet solos are provided and are based on the chord changes of Duke Ellington's classic "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". A 16 bar acapella ensemble section shows off the horns before the rhythm rejoins at the bridge to close out the chart - almost. The piano and rhythm section take us the rest of the way, a la Count Basie, to a signature ending. Trumpet range is to written high C. Trombone range is to G. Bass and piano parts are written out.
