Jazz Ensemble (Score & Parts) - Grade 3
SKU: HL.7011901
Composed by Don Was. Arranged by John Wasson. Young Jazz Ensemble. Eighties, Movies. Score and parts. Hal Leonard #7011901. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.7011901).UPC: 884088630911. 9.0x12.0x0.211 inches.
This catchy funk tune was recorded by Was (Not Was) in 1987, but more recently has been popularized in pop culture including the movies Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, The Flintstones, and Super Mario Bros. John Wasson's funky version shows why some tunes just never go out of style. Includes a solo for tenor sax and the signature chant “boom, boom, ack-a lack-a lack-a boom.” Guaranteed fun!

Solid, Funky Chart for Any Event
Grabbed this for an upcoming themed gig, and it's a solid choice. 'Walk the Dinosaur' is a recognizable tune from movies, and Wasson’s Grade 3 arrangement delivers that classic funk vibe. The parts are clearly printed, making it easy to sight-read or prep quickly. It’s a definite crowd-pleaser that fits well into a diverse setlist. A reliable choice for ensemble work.

So Much Fun to Play!
I absolutely love this! 'Walk the Dinosaur' is such a classic, and this Grade 3 jazz ensemble version is incredibly enjoyable. It brings back memories from all those movies. The arrangement is accessible enough for our casual jam group, and we can really nail that funky groove. Plus, that 'boom, boom, ack-a lack-a lack-a boom' chant is a blast. Definitely a party starter!

Engaging Piano Part within a Great Ensemble Arrangement
As a collaborative pianist in a jazz ensemble setting, I found the piano part for 'Walk the Dinosaur' to be well-integrated and fun. It provides excellent rhythmic drive and harmonic support without overwhelming the other instruments. The Grade 3 level makes it manageable, while still contributing significantly to the overall funky texture. The arrangement also perfectly sets up the iconic vocal chant sections.
