Due to Covid-19 The Bob Curnow Big Band was not able to
record this piece live. What you will hear is a Finale midi playback. We ask
your understanding and look forward to being able to provide a recording of the
great Curnow Big Band in the near future
Hear The Music! See The Music!
This Curnow original was inspired by the fact that there arent a lot of
bass features available for up-and-coming bassists. The tempo is set at about
100, and the chart opens up with your bass player soloing (written or improved)
for 12 bars before the band moves in with a cool, quiet, rich statement of the
theme. The bassist then solos (written or improvised) for another 24 bars
before the full band comes roaring in with a strong statement. The soloist then
continues for a bit before the band takes over again. The piece ends as it
began, with the band stating that cool statement of the theme to the end. Give
your bass player a shot. She (or he) deserves it. Two different bass parts are included; one
with a written solo throughout and one with just changes for the more mature
player. Moderate ranges for all makes
this a very accessible chart for most bands.
