The Wailing Boat (A.Cohn)

The Wailing Boat (A.Cohn) is a big band arrangement credited to Maynard Ferguson, with Al Cohn listed as the original composer. The catalog metadata does not specify a style, so no stylistic classification is assigned here. This arrangement is documented as 26 pages and is rated medium difficulty. Individual parts are confirmed in the catalog record. A conductor score is not confirmed, so the record should not be read as confirming that a conductor score is included. The listed instrumentation comprises eight instruments or parts: Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, Trombone, Piano, Bass, and Drums. This provides the practical ensemble information needed to identify the intended performing forces and to check the documented part coverage before rehearsal. For working musicians, the key catalog points are the credited arranger and composer, the big band format, the medium difficulty rating, the 26-page length, and the confirmed presence of individual parts. Because the style field is unspecified and no conductor score is confirmed, those details remain open rather than being interpreted.
