Product Description 

On a Slow Boat to China has been a favorite of jazz musicians for over 75 years
 because of its grooving melody and fantastic chord changes. In that tradition,
 here is a hard swinging arrangement for four flutes (Three C Flutes and Alto Flute)
 along with rhythm section. After a dramatic chromatic introduction, the groove is 
set by a bass ostinato pedal that helps the melody build to the second half. 
All four flutes have a shot at the melody before opening up for solos for everyone
 over these great changes. After the solos, there is a stop time flute feature
 where a written out line is passed back and forth between all the players giving
 the effect of a group improvisation. It finishes with the same high-energy ostinato 
pedal. The chart includes written out piano voicings and bass lines, along with an
 optional guitar part.  At a medium advanced level, this chart is well within the
 reach of most doublers, and is a swinging addition to any program!
