This 23-page arrangement includes comprehensive instrumentation for five saxophones (Alto Sax 1, Alto Sax 2, Tenor Sax 1, Tenor Sax 2, Baritone Sax), four trumpets (Trumpet 1, Trumpet 2, Trumpet 3, Trumpet 4), four trombones (Trombone 1, Trombone 2, Trombone 3, Bass Trombone), and a full rhythm section (Piano, Bass, Drums).
