Effective Piano Writing for Ensemble
The piano part in this 'Cheesecake' arrangement truly supports the jazz ensemble. It sits well within the rhythm section, providing solid comping without unnecessarily doubling lead melodies. The texture is thoughtfully varied throughout, with the piano effectively backing the saxes on the head and providing rhythmic drive during the full ensemble shout chorus. A great addition to any ensemble library.

Fun and Accessible Dexter Gordon!
As an adult learner, I love playing accessible jazz, and this 'Cheesecake' arrangement by Rick Stitzel is brilliant. It’s a catchy Dexter Gordon standard arranged for Grade 3, so it feels challenging but definitely achievable. The parts are well-written, and it's incredibly satisfying to hear our band sound so good with this medium swing chart. Highly recommend for enjoyment!

Solid, Playable Jazz Standard
This Grade 3 arrangement of Dexter Gordon's 'Cheesecake' is a reliable pick for gigs. It’s a medium swing chart that's well-structured and easy to put together quickly. The arrangement includes parts for full jazz ensemble, and the solo for tenor is a nice touch. For a 64-page set, consider marking page turns in advance, but overall, it's a solid, functional chart.
