Original

Cruise Control composed by Steve Hodges. Concert Band. Concert Band. Part. Score. Alfred Debut Series. Light Concert. Grade 1. 114 pages. Published by Alfred Music. AP.33838. A cool swing groove on the ride cymbal opens this jazzy piece for first year band students. With the low brass and woodwinds providing a driving walking bass line, the trumpets, saxes, and upper woodwinds trade the melody effectively throughout the piece. Solid scoring and a strong rhythmic foundation allow the band to really lay back and put themselves into the "cruise control" setting. This is a great learning tool introducing elements of the swing and jazz genres to the young band.
