Repertoire Suggestions:
Comment with any suggestions that you would like to do - links to YouTube clips would be great as well.- Cissy Strut arranged by Rick Stitzel (Grade 1.5) or a more advanced version (Grade 3 here)
- Enter Sandman arranged by Paul Murtha
- Low Rider arranged by John Berry
- Bad by Michael Jackson/arranged by John Berry
- Moanin' by Bobby Timmons/arranged by Michael Sweeney
- Rock You Like a Hurricane arranged by Paul Murtha
Out of these, I'd probably want to do low rider. How about "I just want to make love to you"; the Etta James version with instruments that suit our band more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4ErjX8p20s
ReplyDeleteJan, excellent suggestions. I think we've got a big band/jazz band score for Low Rider in the cupboard - I'll dig it out for next week.
DeleteEtta James' I Just Want To Make Love To You is a great suggestion too... especially if we get a strong female singer to join us for that. I'll try to locate a big band score.
We've also got a big band score for Tequila - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh0ClmLgCpo
