Jitterbug with Webern

Description

The chart has a shuffle feel with a melody created from a tone row used by Anton Webern (Op. 24). The technique of using tone rows to create melodies over chord changes can lead to interesting melodic shapes. The tone row B Bb D Eb G F# Ab E F C Db A creates the main melody that is stated after a short vamp introduction. The solo section is a trading opportunity for 4's between alto sax and trumpet.
