This Big?League chart spotlights all of the sections of the jazz ensemble with high?energy and verve. Opening with an effective piano solo/rhythm section soli, “Welcome to the Majors” features a driving, lite?shuffle beat that propels the breezy melody and crisp ensembles over a set of slightly altered blues changes. A 4?bar kick?off leads to a tenor sax solo, and this solo section may be opened up for other players as desired. An 8 bar trombone soli leads way to the incisive and biting shout chorus that builds and builds. Fresh, spirited, and lots of fun for concert and contest alike. A real home run! Duration: 4.45
