Gregory Yasinitsky: Tricky Sticks: Jazz Ensemble

Here is a fun chart that provides the perfect vehicle to spotlight the unsung hero of the big band - the drummer. Mindful of the traditions established by such legends as Mel Lewis, Louis Bellson, Sonny Payne, Buddy Rich, and Harold Jones, great learning material is presented for developing groups by including a variety of textures and making effective use of softer dynamics, roaring ensemble work, and saxophone soli passages. Each set includes a guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson.Duration 4:50.
