Hopscotch
Catalog Number: MTM-75-14032
Writer: Wil Swindler
Difficulty: Med-Hard
Style: Medium Swing
Description: Excellent for advanced high school bands and college jazz ensembles, this medium swing is inspired by the writing of Thad Jones when he was writing for the Basie band. Following an opening piano solo, it features alto and trumpet as melodic partners. Both melody players take a ride over standard-style changes. There is a fairly challenging saxophone soli following the opening melodic statement that will be an appropriate challenge for diligent students and professionals alike.
