JE: Cousin Mary John Coltrane / Arr. Terry White

YOUNG JAZZ ENSEMBLE

A cool tune set to swing at a medium tempo, this chart has a simple melody that Terry White develops as he scores the ensemble with a big fat sound. It has written solos provided for alto, trumpet, and trombone, and a sax soli harmonized from Coltrane's famous Giant Steps recording. Not difficult, just tasty with big dynamic contrasts and swinging sound.
