The Great Escape. John Fedchock. Advanced.

Original

The Great Escape composed by John Fedchock. For big band. Medium to difficult. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing. WA.55281. An advanced level, uptempo swing chart first recorded by Woody Herman on his final Grammy-nominated CD "Woody's Gold Star". The attention-getting introduction and unison opening theme lead to flexible, blues-based solo sections for tenor sax and trombone, including swinging backgrounds as well as high-energy exchanges between the ensemble and trombone soloist. Things come to a climax with and exciting shout chorus, an ensemble recap, and a dynamic closing. A perfect concert opener, or jazz vehicle for some fun "open blowing". 5,4,4,G,P,B,D.
