GEOFF KEEZER ranks as one of contemporary jazz's brightest young stars. Recording with the Jazz Messengers at age 17, the pianist has since proven his early promise and emerged as a major recording artist and composer. Also see his big band arrangement of James Williams' Beauty Within.
QUINTET INSTRUMENTATION
Front Line: E-flat, C treble clef, C bass clef,
Trumpet (1st part), Tenor Sax (2nd part)
Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar
FULL SCORE
The melody of this one is deceptively tricky with its large, unusual intervals, but is certainly playable at the recorded tempo by groups of almost any level. This chart is great for pushing the technical abilities of a younger group as well as showing off good intonation and polished phrasing in a more experienced group.
SOLOS: The changes are very simple and feature II-Vs mostly in the tonic key.
