By Miles Davis. By Miles Davis. Arranged by PETER J. PERRY. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Funk, Instructional, Jazz. 46 pages. PER Sonare Press #1449896. Published by PER Sonare Press (A0.1891347).Jean Pierre — Miles Davis | Easy Jazz Ensemble Arrangement (Grade 2)
A jazz-funk arrangement of Miles Davis's beloved Jean Pierre for middle school or early high school jazz ensemble. Built around a single chord (concert B♭ major), this Grade 2 chart is both immediately accessible and musically rich — making it an ideal concert closer or festival piece for developing jazz bands.
The deliberately simple melody gives students room to focus on what matters most at this level: swing feel, groove, dynamic shaping, and ensemble blend. Layering, mute work, and a bass solo section introduce players to the signature sounds of Miles Davis's electric period without overwhelming younger performers.
Includes a dedicated improvisation section with soloist sheets in all transpositions (C treble, E♭, F, B♭, C bass clef), featuring scale guides, chord tone references, and a sample solo based on Miles's recorded performance — giving students a real pathway into jazz improvisation.
Instrumentation: Alto Sax 1–2, Tenor Sax 1–2, Baritone Sax, Trumpet 1–3, Trombone 1–3, Piano, String Bass, Drums, Auxiliary Percussion. Optional parts included for Flute, Clarinet, French Horn, Treble Clef Baritone, Tuba, and Guitar — flexible enough for any school program.
Special features: Harmon mute trumpet solo, plunger mute trombone section, optional bass solo (cued in tuba, guitar, and piano), full style and interpretation notes, and mute technique guides for both trumpet and trombone.
