American Patrol, Swing, for Tuba und Vibraphon ad lib, Score and parts

Edición de / Edited by: Dedrick, Art

Originally released in 1956, this easy-level, swingin' arrangement of the iconic Meacham tune opens with a short written alto solo before launching into a satisfying series of sax and brass solis, unisons and full-ensemble shouts. All rhythm section parts are fully notated, brass rhythms are very accessible (F#5 trumpet, F4 trombone), and no improvisation is required. This scoring for full big band is also playable by as few as 3 saxes, 3 brass and rhythm, and each set includes optional parts for tuba and vibes.
