Summary of This Score
The Best of Belwin Jazz: First Year Charts for Jazz Ensemble brings together twelve highly effective jazz arrangements to start (or consolidate) a typical big band ensemble. Designed for student progression, this collection allows the basics of the style to be addressed (articulation, phrasing, timing, section balance) while maintaining the pleasure of playing pieces with a strong character. Tempos and moods are deliberately varied to diversify rehearsal objectives: swing for placement and accentuation, Latin for rhythmic precision, ballad for tone and line leading, waltz for pulse, not to mention holiday and pop spirit titles to energize concerts and auditions.
The writing is intended for a full instrumentation (5 saxophones, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, and 4 rhythm section instruments), but the ensemble remains balanced and convincing with a reduced lineup (3 saxophones, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, and 3 rhythm section instruments). Optional parts further expand the possible instrumentation, useful when certain instruments are missing from the orchestra. On the accompaniment side, the rhythm section benefits from concrete indications (rhythm ideas, piano voicings, guitar chord frameworks) to build a stable and stylistically accurate groove. Finally, solo passages in improvised sections are secured with written solos, perfect for building confidence before gradually introducing improvisation. The conductor's book includes complete CD recordings of all titles, a valuable asset for working on listening, style, and timing.
Titles include: "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home," "Birth of the Blues," "Embraceable You," "First Time Around," "Gospel," "Hot Chocolate," "Jazzmin Tea," "Jingle Bell Rock," "Poco Loco," "Splanky," "Sunday Morning," "TMI."
