Blue Alert (B.Joris)

“Blue Alert (B.Joris)” is a big band arrangement by Bert Joris, who is also credited as the original composer. The catalog record identifies the work as an advanced-level title for a full big band setting. Style is not specified in the available metadata, so this description does not assign a genre or performance character beyond the documented ensemble format. The edition contains 65 pages and includes both a conductor score and individual parts, making the set suitable for rehearsal, direction, and section preparation within an ensemble setting. The listed instrumentation covers Alto Saxophone solo, Alto Saxophone 2, Tenor Saxophone 1, Tenor Saxophone 2, Baritone Saxophone, four trumpet positions—with Trumpet 4 marked optional—four trombone parts, Bass, Drum Set, and Piano. The explicit Alto Saxophone solo listing distinguishes that part within the saxophone section as cataloged, without implying any unverified musical treatment. Trumpet 4opt is retained as listed in the source metadata. This catalog entry is intended to give conductors, librarians, section leaders, and players a clear overview of the documented contents before working with the score and parts. Because no style, date, duration, key, or performance history is confirmed, those details are not included. This is an advanced big band arrangement with a confirmed conductor score and individual parts. The listed instrumentation includes Alto Saxophone solo, Alto Saxophone 2, Tenor Saxophones 1 and 2, Baritone Saxophone, Trumpets 1–3 plus optional Trumpet 4, Trombones 1–4, Bass, Drum Set, and Piano.
