Description
Written (and intended to be an opener) for Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Nouveau and later expanded for full big band, Take No Prisoners is an exciting and challenging piece for your high school or college big band jazz ensemble.
Parts for four trumpets, four trombones, five saxophones, piano, guitar, bass and drums (plus score) come as a PDF file that you will be able to download immediately after your order is processed.
Based on extended (24-bar) Bird-style blues chord progression, this chart features trumpet and tenor sax solo space with different backgrounds written specifically to support those instruments. Two “soli” sections; the first one requires guitar/piano/bass to play bebop lines with horn section. The second one is a “brass chorale” that takes the lead trumpet up to a high G (other than that, the highest trumpet note is a B right below high C). This chart has no D.S. or D.C. and reads straight down.
198 measures; performance time: 6-7 minutes at ♩ = 244. Level of difficulty: advanced (due to tempo, single-note bebop lines for guitar/piano/bass, and lead trumpet range requirements).
Take No Prisoners for 17-piece big band includes full transposed score and parts.
