Composed by Bennie Moten and Thamon Hayes. Arranged by Marc Donatelle. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Blues, Jazz, Ragtime. 38 pages. Marc Donatelle #1115995. Published by Marc Donatelle (A0.1543405).Benjamin (Bennie) Moten was an American jazz pianist and band leader born in 1893 and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. Moten organized an orchestra (Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra), active in the Midwest during the early 1920s, that was largely responsible for developing the big band sound.
In 1929, he recruited among others a young Count Basie. From this evolved the early stages of what became known as the "Basie sound," a few years before Basie recorded under his own name.
Moten Stomp was composed in 1927 by Bennie Moten and trombonist Thamon Hayes. Moten's arrangements featured extended solos from various musicians in the group.
True to his style, this arrangement features solos from all members of the brass quintet. Suggested solos are written out, but the chord changes are provided for improvisation. The original 1927 recording featured a banjo solo, which is recreated with harmon mutes in the trumpets and trombone, giving the “wah-wah” effect.
