Big Band Charts by Trent Kynaston

The More I Seek My Solitude, the Less of it I Find
(from Tango Suite second. mvt.)

The More I seek My Solitude, The Less Of It I Find, is a beautiful, haunting melody, written over a very common tango ostinato.

The textures are very transparent and should blend with the subtleties of the written drum part. Its a tenor feature and a terrific showcase for a very strong soloist. The tune is designed to segue into Sabine’s Dance.

Sabine’s Dance

Sabine’s Dance is a very playful tune dancing over a rather simple chord
progression. The drum part, which imitates a particular hard leather soled shoe pattern of the tango dancer, is intertwined with a very intricate bass line.

The solos, written for soprano and piano, could be passed to most anyone in the band. The shout section is a unison tour d’force that leads to an open drum solo and back to the tune. The chart is a very effective closer for any concert.
