Fun and Rewarding Sonny Rollins Classic
I absolutely love this arrangement of Sonny Rollins' 'Tenor Madness'! Mark Taylor did a fantastic job capturing the original feel. As an adult learner, the Grade 4 difficulty is challenging but totally achievable for weekend practice, and it feels incredibly rewarding. It’s so much fun to play and really makes you feel like you're part of a swinging big band. Highly enjoyable.

Well-Crafted Piano Part for Big Band
For a collaborative pianist in a big band, this 'Tenor Madness' chart is well-written. The piano part provides excellent harmonic and rhythmic support to the ensemble, effectively comping rather than just doubling melodies. Mark Taylor's arrangement at Grade 4 ensures an engaging yet supportive role, allowing the horns to shine while providing a robust foundation. A great addition to the book for any accompanist.
