SKU: HL.7011443
Composed by John Clayton. Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Swing. Hal Leonard #7011443. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.7011443).UPC: 884088166779. 9.0x12.0x0.259 inches.
Here's a terrific medium swing chart (recorded by the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra on Heart and Soul) featuring a great groove, a catchy melody and the craftsmanship of jazz master John Clayton. Also included is a trombone solo, a take-no-prisoners sax soli and solo space for the bass. The shout chorus starts nice and quiet then builds to a deafening level with the ensemble roaring!

Solid, High-Level Ensemble Chart
This Grade 5 jazz ensemble chart by John Clayton delivers. It's a medium swing with a great groove and a memorable melody, as expected from the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra. Chord symbols are present and accurate throughout, which is crucial. While not a casual 'on the fly' gig piece due to its complexity and specific arrangement, it's a stellar addition for any professional ensemble looking for a well-crafted, dynamic performance number.

Exceptional Piano Role in a Dynamic Ensemble
As a pianist within a jazz ensemble, this 'Soupbone' chart by John Clayton is a masterclass in dynamic support. The piano part, rather than doubling melodies, provides rich harmonic voicings and rhythmic drive, perfectly complementing the saxes, brass, and soloists. The score's clarity allows for seamless collaboration within the rhythm section, building a powerful foundation for the ensemble's roaring shout chorus. An excellent piece for ensemble balance.

Excellent Chart for Advanced Ensembles!
John Clayton's 'Soupbone' is a fantastic Grade 5 swing chart for high school or college jazz ensembles. The engraving quality is top-notch, making parts clear and readable. It’s perfect for teaching complex ensemble rhythm, dynamics, and advanced jazz articulation. The solo sections for trombone and bass offer great opportunities for student feature, and the sax soli is a brilliant challenge. Highly recommended!
