Swingin' Along

This track is an educational jazz chart, to be used as a warm-up for big band jazz ensembles. It is range-appropriate for all instruments and the solo section is a ii7/V7/I in the tonic key, which allows growing improvisers to be as simple or as complicated as they like. The chart was arranged in all major keys, minus the enharmonic repetitions. Available on Hal Leonard's Sheet Music plus website.
