Solid, Flexible Chart for Basic Gigs
Rick Stitzel's arrangement of 'Old Devil Moon' is a dependable, Grade 2 chart. The flexible instrumentation is a real plus for last-minute gigs, and the moderate tempo with swing/Latin changes keeps it engaging without demanding solos. While not a flashy showcase, it’s a perfectly functional standard to have in the book when a straightforward, solid ensemble piece is needed.

Fun and Achievable Jazz Standard!
I absolutely love playing this arrangement of 'Old Devil Moon' from Finian's Rainbow! As an adult learner, the Grade 2 difficulty is just right – challenging enough to feel rewarding but totally achievable. The blend of swing and Latin makes it so enjoyable, and it really feels like playing a classic standard. Rick Stitzel did a great job making it accessible and fun.

Well-Crafted Ensemble Texture for Developing Bands
This 'Old Devil Moon' arrangement by Rick Stitzel is skillfully written for a Grade 2 jazz ensemble. The piano part, within the rhythm section, contributes beautifully to the moderate swing and Latin grooves. Without required soloists, it fosters excellent ensemble balance and blend. It’s an ideal chart for focusing on cohesive group sound and supportive accompaniment rather than individual virtuosity.
