Product Description

Peter Stöve What If Benny Goodman series, Vol. 1! (A take-off on events that could have happened with the Benny Goodman Orchestras book of arrangements if things in jazz history had taken another turn). What if Benny Carter had not sailed for Europe in 1935 to become staff arranger with the BBC, but instead had helped out Benny Goodman with providing scores for his Lets Dance program? And suppose Carter had done the same trick that Fletcher Henderson pulled later on, e.g. adapting already existing scores of his own band for the Benny Goodman Orchestra? Carters Symphony In Riffs is presented here as a piece that could have been a cornerstone of the Goodman band library. The sax soli written by Carter is there, but the clarinet dominates the second strain in a Glenn Miller-styled section, and of course later with an extended solo. Other soloists include trb 1, piano, tpt 2 and ts 1. The two different strains are juxtaposed to each other, to make for a maximum of variety. Scored for the line-up of the Benny Goodman Orchestra of 1935: solo clt/2 as/2 ts/3 tpt/2 trb/rhy. Tpt 1 to Eb3. Difficult for multiple reasons: The clarinet soloist must be a first-class BG-wannabe. Fluent soloist, comfortable in the upper register. Strong lead-alto required, with an old-skool singing tone. Lead trumpet must be able to carry off the final section from bar 197 onwards. Driving rhythm section needed; swinging (preferably acoustic) rhythm guitarist and a bassist who doesnt shy away from playing compelling bass-lines. If your band meets these requirements: have fun!
