FRUITCAKE • BIG BAND CHART comp.
Jeff Coffin / arr. Deacon-Joyner,
Difficulty
Level: V,
Trumpet
Range: F6.
Parts
Included: full score, 5 saxes, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, piano, bass, drums,
guitar.
This is a tune by Jeff that harkens the spirit and groove of
the shuffle as played by the late, great jazz drummer Art Blakey. David
Deacon-Joyner was the Repertory Ensemble Director at the University of North
Texas when Jeff was there and they have been working together again on a
professional level for many years. This is a great arrangement and has a
beautifully arranged and slightly tricky saxophone soli. Solid, fun solo
changes and a strong grooving shuffle will raise the roof as well as the
bandstand!
Fruitcake can be heard on Jeff Coffin's big band recording
THE INSIDE OF THE OUTSIDE on Ear Up Records.
