Charlie The Whale (2003) - big band by Sammy Nestico (Sammy Nestico Music)

CHARLIE THE WHALE
Written in two distinct styles. The tempo is bright in ?two? allowing the rhythm section much latitude) and then into 4/4 (l?estesso) for the straight ahead jazz section at bar 47. The closed voicing sax section at bar 47 should be played strongly with a ?tough? sound. The remainder of the arrangement is a straight ahead jazz feel with emphasis on sound ensemble playing and good time.

It swings and swings
This is another in an incredibly long line of great jazz band charts by one of the masters. The musical peaks and valleys of Charlie the Whale are just right. Young (and old) arrangers can learn a lot from the way this piece is laid out. It even sounds good on my midi sound card here at work. I always hope the influence of Sammy Nestico shows when I do a jazz band chart. Thanks, Sammy! I am still a fan.
