Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
By Wallace Willis / arr. Rick Hirsch
00-50949
Young Jazz Ensemble
Grade: 2.5
A very clever treatment of this well-known traditional spiritual, the opening statement is a slow chorale moving into an easy shuffle played around 138 BPM. The melody bounces between sections then into a driving shuffle that swings. Solos are provided for trombone 1 and alto 1, lead trumpet range is to written G. This chart is excellent!
