A ballad is the great way to feature a strong soloist, but what if the ballad is not written to feature
the correct instrument? Afterglow solves this problem by including solo parts and ensemble parts
in EACH PART of the jazz ensemble. Any player in the band can play the solo part while the rest
of the players play their ensemble parts. Correlated with the Standard of Excellence Advanced Jazz
Ensemble Method, the improvisation portion of the solo part includes a written out embellished
version of the melody.
- Beginning Level Jazz Charts
- Flexibly orchestrated so that they can be played with as few as 9 players.
- Everyone in the ensemble has an opportunity to improvise in the open solo section.
- Includes two suggested solos and a CD with a solo practice track, to facilitate
successful improvisation.
