A tribute to the great John Coltane, a jazz legend!
Composer/arranger Mike Lewis has crafted an accessible young band medium swing chart based on the characteristic Coltrane chord progression of ascending minor thirds. The chart is targeted to younger players with a written-out trumpet solo and plenty of unisons throughout. Rhythm section parts are clearly notated. Lead trumpet range is to written G on top of the staff.
