Solid, Playable Chart for Jazz Gigs
Roger Holmes' "Thriller" arrangement (Grade 4) is a reliable pick for any jazz ensemble gig. The chart is well-written, features accurate chord symbols for the rhythm section, and captures that iconic Michael Jackson groove. With 50 pages for the full score, ensure your individual parts have good page turns, but overall, it's a solid, crowd-pleasing arrangement.

Engaging Piano Part in a Dynamic Ensemble Setting
As a collaborative pianist for a jazz ensemble, I found this Grade 4 "Thriller" arrangement by Roger Holmes very effective. The piano part provides excellent harmonic and rhythmic support, truly driving the "all-around great groove" without merely doubling other sections. It integrates well within the full big band texture, making it a strong choice for ensemble coaches focusing on cohesion.

Excellent Ensemble Chart for Developing Musicians
This Grade 4 arrangement of "Thriller" by Roger Holmes is fantastic for teaching jazz ensemble skills. The clear Hal Leonard engraving makes reading straightforward, and the rhythmic complexity is perfect for developing advanced sight-reading and groove awareness in students. It's a highly engaging piece that keeps the whole band motivated and improving together.
