The Opener II

Description

Charlie Parker's great bebop tune arranged to swing at 172--200 BPM. Plenty of excellent sax section solis, brass solis, solo space (suggested written solos) for tenor and piano and the lead trumpet range goes up to written B-flat above the staff. Includes optional flute and vibraphone parts. Ornithology arranged by Greg Yasinitsky is a fine big band swing chart on a great tune. Dedicated to the 2012 Wyoming All State Jazz Band---Neil Hansen, Director. (4:34) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
