Product Description

"Blues March" is a composition by saxophonist Benny Golson (1929-2024). Although some sources state that its first recorded version is the well known one by Art Blakey's band on his album Moanin' (recorded on October 30, 1958), the first version was on trumpeter Blue Mitchell's 'Big 6', which was recorded on July 2 and 3, 1958. This version for concert band, based on a jazz ensemble arrangement by Terry White, opens with a drum set solo, with spots for tenor sax, trumpet and alto sax (chords provided with suggested solos). A great opportunity for your band to play an absolute jazz standard!
