Space City Shuffle by Mark Taylor

Professional Editions Jazz Ensemble - Grade 5
Commissioned by the Houston Jazz Orchestra, here's a hard-driving shuffle tune that will make your mature ensemble sound great. The rhythm section sets the table for the saxes on the melody and answered by punches from the brass. Solo spots for tenor and trumpet are interspersed with inventive lines for the full ensemble. A soli for the trombone section follows, and rousing shout chorus caps things off in this dynamic chart. Recording courtesy of the Houston Jazz Orchestra - James McLaughlin, music director.
