Alone In The Shade

Alone in the Shade is a long-form modern big band composition with a very exciting energy which integrates rock fusion and 180 bpm half-time feel eighth-note melodies. Angular lines and quick interjections permeate the texture and solos for tenor sax and distortion guitar allow plenty of room for an advanced soloist to really open up. This chart makes a perfect concert closer or opener for strong bands. Alto 1 doubles on soprano sax. Trumpet range to written double G. 5/4/4/G/P/B/D. Difficult.
