April In Paris by Count Basie Big Band - Sheet Music

By Count Basie
Big band - Medium Difficult

SKU: JL.LL-1119

By Count Basie. Edited by Myles Collins. Arranged by Wild Bill Davis. Swing. Score and Parts. Lush Life #LL-1119. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-1119).

This version of April in Paris has been lovingly assembled from a number of recordings done by the Basie band of this fabulous Wild Bill Davis chart, and has a richer, lusher, more authentic feel than previous / current offerings published by other companies. We have taken down the Henderson Chambers' trombone solo (on bass bone, but cross cued on the other parts), and the stunning Phil Guilbeau trumpet solo (written out), both from Basie's Sept.1965 London concert. The trumpet solo in particular is in a different league to Basie's early "pop goes the weasel" version, though your player can improvise from the chords provied too. Also included is the "one more time" ending too, should you wish to tease the crowds. This chart will not disappoint.Ranges:Trumpets . 1-4: . D6(E6), D6, G5, E5Trombones . 1-4: . Bb4, A4, A4, F4.
