JE: Swing March from The Nutcracker Piotr Ilich Tchaikowsky (Pyotr Peter Ilyich Iljitsch Tschaikovsky) / Arr. Paul Clark

Tchaikovsky for Jazz Band? With this creative arrangement of the March from the Nutcracker Suite you bet! A great combination of full ensemble and section solis and the trumpets never leave the staff. There's an optional section that can be used in featuring ad lib solos, but as you can hear in the recording, it works fine without them. Treat your holiday concert audiences to this instantly recognized melody in the jazz/swing style.
