Put together the brilliant composer Billy Strayhorn and superb arranger Alan Baylock, and you will have an outstanding musical experience. This is the alto sax feature you have been looking for---not technically difficult, but lush and full of moving lines and nuances. Lead trumpet range is to written A, above the staff.

Strayhorn's Cashmere Cutie is about texture and composition. A medium swing at 132--138 BPM, this chart is the real deal---composed and arranged by Billy Strayhorn. It's loaded with beautiful sophisticated voicings, yet the music flows easily. Tenor 1 doubles clarinet and alto 2 doubles a two-measure flute line. There is a written-out piano introduction that is complex but it can be improvised in lieu of the written part plus there is an optional alternate easier piano intro part included. 5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, 4 rhythm.
