Composer/arranger Carl Strommen delivers this gospel style swing chart for the easy red series. Carl starts things off with an a cappella section for the winds, then brings in the rhythm section on the second chorus to boost the energy. Written solos for 1st alto saxophone and 1st trumpet and an uplifting modulation bring it home. This great chart has easy ranges and sounds full with reduced instrumentation. This title is available through SmartMusic. (2:31)

Carl has created a great new piece for developing ensembles in the blues-tinged tradition of Maynard's Gospel John. The Gospel Truth features solid ensemble scoring throughout with written (or improvised) solos for alto and trumpet. This chart makes an excellent second piece on a festival or concert program.
