Composed by Brad Esbensen. Arranged by Brad Esbensen. Blues,Jazz. Score and Parts. 144 pages. Brad Esbensen Music Services #6092653. Published by Brad Esbensen Music Services (A0.774417).TRAFFIC JAM is an original composition for big band and featured as a set piece for the 2005 Australian Academy Festival of Music Jiants of Jazz Ensemble division.
This is a lively, up-tempo swing piece that was inspired by the mayhem and frustrations of rush hour travel. The arrangement of the main theme features a small combo of Alto Sax, Trumpet, Trombone and Guitar with the rhythm section providing rhythmic counterpoint.
Solo space is provided for 1st Tenor Sax, 2nd Trumpet, 1st Alto Sax and 1st Trombone. The solo sections may be opened up for players to take additional choruses if desired. A shout chorus provides the band with an opportunity to let loose. There is a fair amount of independence between sections, rhythmic shots and some fragmented melodic ideas that will require careful attention to execute accurately.
The ending brings everything back home to the solitude of the garage for another day. I hope you enjoy performing this piece!
