Swingtime in the Rockies is a fast-paced (240 bpm) swing chart in riff style from the earlier days of the Goodman band. The brass has been augmented from the original 5 to 8 voices to suit a standard 5444 big band line-up. The reeds are scored for CAATT throughout, and the Goodman solos are written out in full too. Aside from the clarinet, the only other solo is taken by trumpet 2 and is written out as-played by Harry James. This is not the easiest chart to play, as nimble fingers are needed to keep the chart tidy at this tempo. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: C#6, E6, G5, Eb5; Trombones 1-4: Ab4, F4, Db4, B3.
