Blues Express (S.Rogers)

“Blues Express (S.Rogers)” is a jazz arrangement credited to Shorty Rogers as both arranger and original composer. The catalog identifies the work for Big Band and lists an advanced difficulty level, making it appropriate for ensembles seeking material documented at that level of performance demand. No specific style is provided in the verified metadata, so this listing does not assign one beyond the title and catalog classification. The documented instrumentation includes eight listed instruments or parts: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. This provides the core personnel information needed for an initial ensemble check before rehearsal planning. Individual parts are confirmed as included in the catalog record. A conductor score is not confirmed, so the listing does not represent one as part of the documented contents. The arrangement is cataloged at 64 pages. For musicians and ensemble directors, the most practical reference points are the Big Band designation, the advanced difficulty rating, the listed instrument coverage, and the confirmation that individual parts are available. Because no additional information is verified regarding form, duration, key, tempo, featured players, or performance history, those details should be established from the supplied materials rather than assumed from the title. This entry is intended to provide a clear, metadata-based overview for repertoire review and instrumentation planning. This is an advanced Big Band arrangement with 64 cataloged pages. Confirmed individual parts are listed for Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. A conductor score is not confirmed in the available metadata.
