    Excellent Chart for Developing Ensembles!

    Mark Taylor's arrangement of 'Sidewinder' is a fantastic Grade 4 piece for a high school or community big band. The distinctive groove and funky riff-like phrases are perfect for teaching rhythmic precision and stylistic interpretation. While specific fingering guidance isn't noted, the overall arrangement is clear, and the solos (trumpet, tenor, drums) offer great development opportunities for students.

    Funky Classic for Our Little Big Band!

    So excited to get this 'Sidewinder' chart by Lee Morgan for our community big band! The Grade 4 level is a good challenge, but the arrangements are so well done, it sounds just like the record. That distinctive groove and those funky riffs are a blast to play. Definitely brings a smile to my face during rehearsals, totally worth it!
