Jerome Kern

Young Jazz Ensemble - Grade 3 Mark has given this Jerome Kern favorite a soft Bossa treatment that serves as a solo feature for flugelhorn. The tempo is comfortably moderate and the scoring is exceptional.

As performed by the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band this Michael Abene chart opens in a relaxed swing style in a moderate tempo. Michael brings as much of himself to this chart as the original song itself as he weaves in new materialcreating an arrangement that builds to a hard-hitting full ensemble climax. Includes solos for piano and baritone sax.

This laid-back arrangement of Jerome Kern's Katy-Did is great for establishing an easy groove. Some optional plunger work for the trumpets can really add to the style. Ideal for introducing the band to some more complex harmonies while staying well within the abilities of your beginning jazz ensemble. A great arrangement!
