Take the "A" Train

This chart swings all the way! It's very playable by a young jazz ensemble - arranger Vince Gassi offers a fresh take on this classic, yet captures the essence of this well-known Strayhorn composition made famous by Ellington. It's scored exactly right for younger players - not too difficult but with fun-to-play parts. With easy ranges and brief written solos for alto sax 1 and trumpet 1, it also has plenty of dynamics to teach. A superb chart you will play for years to come! Optional reduced or expanded instrumentation.
