FULL SCORE

This uptempo swing chart features challenging lines for the horns as well as complicated and exposed figures for the rhythm section. It contrasts a highly arranged, specific head with a loose, unstructured, free solo section, giving a great example of what's expected of a well-rounded jazz player. Players are expected to read complicated figures and play them accurately with other members of the ensemble, then make a quick transition into making music in the context of free improvisation.

SOLOS: Free improvisations.

DONALD BROWN (b. 1954). Like his friend and fellow Memphian, James Williams, whom he replaced as pianist in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Donald is a noted composer, educator and recording artist. After teaching at Berklee for 5 years, Donald moved to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Particularly active in the 1980s, his compositions, including contemporary standards like Affaire D'Amour, New York, and The Insane Asylum have been recorded by Wynton Marsalis, Art Blakey, Art Farmer, Donald Byrd, Mulgrew Miller, T.S. Monk and many others.
