By Charlie Parker. By Charlie Parker. Arranged by Jennifer Barnes. Jazz. Vocal Jazz Ensemble. 35 pages. Jennifer Barnes Music #691930. Published by Jennifer Barnes Music (A0.1087716).This is a fun and special arrangement was written to pay tribute to jazz trumpet icon Roy Hargrove and legendary alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, and it swings hard with minimal and highly accessible ensemble parts in addition to lots of solos. I have indicated that this chart could be either Level III or Level IV because there is an optional chorus of the chart (letters “E” through “H”) that features a combination of the transcribed Roy Hargrove trumpet solo and Charlie Parker alto sax solo sung by solo vocalists. If you prefer to leave it out, you can skip to the improvisation section at letter “I” and you’ll have a Level III arrangement. If you tackle the Hargrove/Parker solos, you’ll have a Level IV — your call. There’s also a layered improvisation section that builds to the end. If you want to feature soloists both in melodic and improvising roles, this chart has what you’re looking for! Full-length demo available at JenniferBarnesMusic.com.
