Shadows Of The Night (L.Norred)

Unleash the raw energy of "Shadows Of The Night," a powerhouse big band arrangement by Larry Norred. This compelling chart, though attributed to an unknown composer, is presented by Norred in a style that evokes the intensity of hard rock within a sophisticated jazz framework. Designed for a standard big band instrumentation of five saxophones (Alto 1, Alto 2, Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone), four trumpets, four trombones (including bass trombone), and a full rhythm section (Piano, Bass, Drums, Guitar), this 40-page arrangement includes all individual parts. While no full score is included, the meticulously notated parts are crafted for medium difficulty ensembles, making them accessible for advanced high school, collegiate, or professional groups. Expect a driving, medium-fast tempo feel, characterized by robust rhythmic patterns and a harmonic language that blends contemporary jazz voicings with rock-infused power. The arrangement features dynamic contrasts, from powerful full ensemble passages to more nuanced sections, showcasing the band's versatility.
