Description
This arrangement of the great J.J. Johnson chart "Shortcake" features the lead trombonist. It pays homage to the original big band chart while also featuring a new ensemble trading section with the trombone soloist. It’s worth mentioning that the drum solo can be opened up or shortened, and the second horn solo can be removed entirely via a cut from the end of bar 62 to bar 95 (F). These alterations along with playing all solo sections (and backgrounds) once or twice make this chart extremely flexible in length and difficulty.
Instrumentation
Standard Big Band (5/4/4/4)
