Sextet Set: TOO SOON TO TELL recorded by ONE FOR ALL on TOO SOON TO TELL* Sextet Set / HL00001057 click for RealAudio clip Recorded by ONE FOR ALL on TOO SOON TO TELL Sharp Nine 1006-2 / February 25, 1997  Tempo various Arrangement Difficulty medium Solo Difficulty medium Too Soon To Tell (Jim Rotondi) This is a great opener, and it opened One For All's first recording (Too Soon To Tell) in 1997. It actually starts with a 16 measure Latin Intro that switches gears with a catchy 4 measure swing figure to set up the melody. The melody and solo section both end with 8 measures of Latin. The arrangement contains optional solo backgrounds (for any soloist) and added a shout chorus as well. Captain's Song (David Hazeltine) The tempo gets a little brighter for this second arrangement we suggest for the set. This is a 36 measure A B C D form. Three 8 measure sections, the first Latin, and the next two swing. The D section is 12 measures long and remains swing in the solo section. The first 8 measures of D in the head is a funky 2-feel piano feature that turns it back to the horns for the last 4 measures of the melody (swing). The melody is full of fun twists and turns. There's also a 2 or 3 horn solo section background as well. Visionary (Steve Davis) Next we suggest a more medium tempo 3/4 arrangement, again full of interesting twists and turns with questions and answers tossed back and forth between the rhythm section and the horns. This A1 A2 B C1 C2 D melody sets up the solo section, which starts as an 4 measure vamp. The rhythm section starts accompanying each soloist in a 1-feel, which develops into energy as the soloist develops energy. Steve has indicated an optional background that can be cued for the last 16 measures of the soloists 4 measure vamp. This leads into an 8 measure 1-feel Bass pedal section that can either go right to the next soloist or to an 8 measure Interlude that can be used to set up the next soloist. After the last soloist, there is an out chorus that leads back to the original bridge before ending. Blues For All (Eric Alexander) Now it's time for a blues. This is a medium up Bbm blues. For this publication, Eric has added optional horn backgrounds and a 2 chorus shout. I Found You (Steve Davis) Here is a beautiful bossa which has the melody in the 2nd part. An additional Trombone (2nd part) has been added to this publication so the 2nd part can either be played by Tenor Sax, Alto Sax, or Trombone. This arrangement was originally written to feature Eric Alexander. Stanger Than Fiction (Jim Rotondi) The set closer is full of energy. The A sections of this A B A C form are divided into 2 measure patterns. The drummer solos in every other measure. The horns take over in B and C. This arrangement also has optional horn backgrounds for any soloist. Before the Drum shout chorus, theres another added shout chorus that borrows from Jims solo on the original recording. * except I Found You recorded by Eric Alexander on Man With A Horn (Milestone 9293) Hal Leonard Stock Number HL00001057 List Price $120.00 TO ORDER: take note of the publication's HL number and call Music Dispatch at 1-800-637-2852.
