Small Big Band Charts (10 Pieces)
Small Big Band ChartsThe following charts are for smaller big band with the instrumentation: Alto, Tenor and Bari Sax, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, Piano, Bass and Drums. These charts will work with some doubling and replacement of parts – within reason. For example, Trombone 2 could be replaced by another tenor saxophone, or tpt 2 could be replaced by an another alto saxophone. It is not recommended to alter the instrumentation drastically however. Doubling of parts is fine as long as too much weight is not applied to any one particular instrument. To create a full big band from these small big band charts, you could simply double saxes with another alto, a tenor, and double the brass parts with one added player on each part. Obviously you will not double up on the rhythm section! Listen to the charts below! |
