Product Description
Color-coded Lead Sheets for Jazz Combo. Separate lead sheets for Concert instruments and Bb instruments included with purchase. Color allows quick understanding of the sections and form of the tune, the rhythmic hits, and the counter-melodies. Special care has been taken to clearly indicate intros, sections, solos, and codas/outros. These form-based markings are in GREEN. Special care has also been taken to notate the rhythmic hits. Hits are notated above the staff, in RED. Finally, any counter-melodies or harmonies appear in reduced size, in BLUE.
"Thinking of George" has a rock feel throughout, and like the above song, alternates from a slow "A" section to a fast , double-time bridge. Inspired by teacher George Russell, inventor of the Lydian Chromatic concept, the soloist plays upper structure chords over the fundamental chord changes of the song.
The composer/arranger, Rob Ames, is a soprano saxophone player from New Hampshire and the Boston, MA area. His album of original tunes, "Sounds From the Boardwalk", is widely available.
