About this item
Everyone gets a workout in this solid swing chart commissioned by the Cedar High School in Cedar City (UT). Featuring angular lines, an open solo section with blues based changes, and plenty of full ensemble work, it showcases a band's ability to play with precision. Crisp articulations throughout are absolutely essential. A 7-bar drum fill at the end takes the chart out in grand style. Rhythm section parts are partially notated with chords cued.

Composer
Doug Beach (1948-)
Doug Beach has built a career that includes performing (trumpet), teaching, adjudicating, publishing and composing. Inspired by his interest in playing, writing and teaching, in 1975 he established the publishing company which bears his name. Three years later, Doug joined the faculty of Elmhurst College in Illinois as director of jazz studies.
In the years since, his college band has toured Europe often and has appeared with jazz greats Clark Terry, Diane Schuur, Nicholas Payton, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Peter Christlieb, lee Konitz, Louie Bellson, Bobby Shew and others.
In great demand as a clinician and adjudicator throughout the U.S. and Canada, Doug has also been artist-in-residence on two different occasions for the Illinois Arts Council. In 1996, the Count Basie Orchestra and New York Voices recorded his arrangement of “Cottontail” on a CD that went on to win the Grammy Award for best large jazz ensemble.
