Dominova (B.Lowden)

Unleash the vibrant energy of "Dominova," an authentic big band arrangement by Bob Lowden, perfect for any jazz ensemble seeking a classic, high-swinging feel. This medium-difficulty arrangement, while attributed to B. Lowden, embodies the spirit of a timeless jazz standard, making it an essential addition to any big band library. The arrangement, spanning 40 pages of meticulously crafted individual parts, is designed for a standard big band instrumentation: five saxophones (Alto 1, Alto 2, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone), four trumpets, four trombones (Trombone 1, Trombone 2, Trombone 3, Bass Trombone), and a full rhythm section (Piano, Bass, Drums). "Dominova" delivers infectious melodies underpinned by driving, propulsive rhythms, typical of a classic swing era piece. Expect a moderate to uptempo swing feel, characterized by a walking bass line, syncopated horn figures, and a harmonically rich, yet accessible, chord progression that provides ample opportunity for improvisation.
