By Miles Davis. By Miles Davis. Arranged by George B Chave. This edition: pdf, streaming. 20th Century, Jazz, Standards, Swing. 21 pages. BrassMagicMusic.com #1442868. Published by BrassMagicMusic.com (A0.1884070).An intermediate-level small ensemble arrangement of So What by Miles Davis, scored for brass quintet (2 trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba) with optional drumset. Designed for late middle school and high school performers (Level 3), this setting is suitable for concerts, festivals, or jazz programming.
The arrangement preserves the characteristic modal structure and relaxed swing feel of the original while keeping ranges and rhythms accessible for developing players. Brass parts feature comfortable ranges throughout (Trumpet 1 to written G5; Horn to E5; Trombone to F4; Tuba within a supportive mid-register), with clearly defined ensemble roles and supportive textures.
Rhythmic content centers on common syncopations in a light swing style (notated in straight eighths), with only occasional use of quarter-note triplets. The drum-set part (snare, bass drum, hi-hat, ride, crash) is fully notated and may be included or omitted depending on ensemble needs.
Written solos are provided for Trumpet 1, Horn, and Trombone. A return of the melody introduces increased rhythmic and harmonic activity, shaping a natural and engaging musical arc.
Approximate duration: 2:30.
