Jazz Ensemble (Score & Parts) - Grade 4
SKU: HL.7010770
By Miles Davis. By Gil Evans. Edited by Mike Tomaro. Jazz Ensemble Library. Jazz, Swing. Score and parts. 34 pages. Hal Leonard #7010770. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.7010770).UPC: 073999590302. 9.0x12.0x0.194 inches. Miles Davis and Gil Evans/adpt. Mike Tomaro.
The landmark album by Miles Davis Birth of the Cool brought us a unique instrumentation (the nonet) along with distinctive jazz sounds. Without straying from the intent of the music and working directly with the original score, Mike Tomaro's adaptation for standard instrumentation makes this wonderful classic available to the contemporary jazz ensemble. The style is laid back swing and includes solos for baritone sax, trumpet and piano (like the original).

Solid Boplicity Chart for Most Gigs
This Grade 4 'Boplicity' chart is a reliable choice for jazz ensemble gigs. The adaptation by Mike Tomaro for standard instrumentation means it's ready to go. Chord symbols are present and accurate, essential for quick reads. While page turns aren't always ideal on every part due to length, the arrangement itself is professional and respectful of the original cool jazz feel. Great for events.

Excellent Piano Writing within a Rich Ensemble
As a pianist within a jazz ensemble, this 'Boplicity' arrangement is stellar. The piano part supports the overall laid-back swing texture beautifully, providing harmonic foundation and rhythmic drive. It doesn't just double melodies; it interacts intelligently with the horns. The included piano solo is a well-crafted feature, making this Grade 4 chart a joy for any collaborative pianist.
