On the Up and Up
The title refers to the numerous offbeat rhythms found throughout the chart. This is a great piece to teach syncopation and latin rhythms. The melody is first stated by a solo trumpet (brief feature opportunity) and the sax section follows. The trombone section is featured on the bridge before the ensemble returns to finish the form. Ample solo opportunities follow with textural backgrounds for support. A sax soli follows and the brass get their chance to answer in kind with some hot licks of their own. This ia great sounding chart that holds the interest and comes together quickly - a great choice for any concert program. Trumpet range is to written high C, trombone to F#.
