All Blues

This arrangement of the iconic 1959 tune “All Blues” was written for the 2019 Greeley Jazz Festival, for the UNC Lab I to perform as a tribute to the year 1959. The arrangement features a Gil Evans-esque treatement of the melody, and introduces each soloist with a 2 chorus harmonization of the transcribed original solos, including Miles, Cannonball, and Coltrane. This tune works well for students wanting to get into the original but performing it in a big band context.
