Eyes All For You by Rich Willey arranged by Chris Walden
The great Chris Walden (Germany’s loss is America’s gain) arranged this bright jazz waltz for Rich with no guidance or suggestions from Rich whatsoever and knocked it clean out of the park.
This is a perfect feature for your jazz tenor player and jazz trumpet (or bass trumpet) player.
Suggested price: $110.00
Description
Eyes All For You is a bright 3/4 tune written over the chord changes to Body & Soul and features a duet between your jazz tenor player and either a trumpet or bass trumpet (as Rich played in the sound clip below). The solo section can be repeated (with or without solo backgrounds) for you to feature multiple soloists as you wish.
Written for five saxophones, five trumpets (solo 5th trumpet part can be played on trumpet, flugelhorn or bass trumpet as Rich did on the recording below, or it could be played by another guest tenor saxophonist or any other B♭ instrument), four trombones, piano, guitar, bass, drums and added percussionist. Doubles for the winds are as follows: ▪ alto 1 and 2 both also play flute, and ▪ tenor 2 also plays clarinet.
The lead trumpet part goes up to a three leger-line E♭. This tune is right in there between Grade 5 and Grade 6. Chart length is 278 written bars, tempo is ♩ = 176 and the score is 34 pages.
