This Mark Taylor arrangement is a solid Grade 4 chart for any gigging big band. Inspired by Ray Charles, it delivers that hard-hitting swing feel. The score and parts are well-laid out, making quick reads easy. Crucially, the arrangement holds up live and is definitely standard enough to be a crowd-pleaser. A reliable choice for an energetic set.

As an adult learner, I absolutely love this Mark Taylor arrangement of 'Let the Good Times Roll.' It's a Grade 4 challenge, but tackling a classic inspired by Ray Charles is incredibly rewarding. Playing these big band charts makes me feel part of something special, and the swing rhythm is infectious. It’s a joy to dig into this hard-hitting piece and truly feel the good times roll!

While this 'Let the Good Times Roll' chart is a Grade 4 jazz ensemble arrangement without a dedicated vocal part, the piano texture perfectly supports the driving big band sound. Mark Taylor expertly captures the Ray Charles-inspired swing, allowing the pianist to lay down a solid rhythmic foundation and comp with authentic voicing. It's a powerful, engaging ensemble piece that showcases the band's collective energy.
