Kay Pea Jackson, Javon Septet / HL00000776 click for RealAudio clip Recorded by ART BLAKEY & THE JAZZ MESSENGERS on CHIPPIN' IN Timeless: CD SJP 340 / Recorded February 1 & 2, 1990  Tempo Uptempo swing Arrangement Difficulty medium Solo Difficulty medium Three young Jazz Messengers contributed arrangements to this Blakey album: pianist GEOFF KEEZER, saxophonist JAVON JACKSON and trumpeter BRIAN LYNCH have since recorded their own albums as leaders. All the septet arrangements are provided with alternate parts. SEPTET INSTRUMENTATION 1st part: Trumpet 2nd part:Tenor Sax 1 3rd part: Trombone, Alto Sax 4th part: Tenor Sax 2, Baritone Sax,Trombone Rhythm Section: Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar FULL SCORE With its more traditional hard bop lines and chord changes, this composition is straight out of the Blakey tradition. This is a straight ahead swinger with relentless energy. There are some unison bebop lines that must be executed by the entire horn section, but they're very idiomatic and will not pose a problem for a group with some knowledge of the jazz language. SOLOS: The changes are reminiscent of Dizzy Gillespie's Woody 'n You and Tadd Dameron's Hot House and consist almost entirely of II-Vs that logically connect to one another. This intuitive progression through different keys makes them fun to play over. This is a great set of changes for a soloist who can convincingly navigate II-Vs or anyone wanting to become more familiar with them. JAVON JACKSON (b. 1965) After playing with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, tenor saxophonist Javon Jackson has recorded several albums as a leader for Blue Note and has worked with Benny Green, Freddie Hubbard, Elvin Jones and many others.
