2 NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR This tune has een perormed y many jazz artists at various and oten at aster tempos, ut the Count Basie Orchestra perormed it at a medium sing, hich is right in the pocet or young jazz ensemles and the ideal model o this sing style. A characteristic o the iconic Basie style is the laidac sing eel. It is essential or young players to e exposed to and to assimilate the Basie style. The est explanation o the Basie style is gained through listening. I strongly suggest providing requent opportunities or the ensemle to hear Basie and recordings pic one, they are all great. Listening to Basie is y ar the est teacher, as young musicians ill not only start to develop listening sills ut ill internalize hat they hear and e ale to perorm the music much aster. or rehearsal purposes, map out sections that are repeated hether they happen to e melodic or rhythmic. This activity may e done through a handout or the use o a marer oard. or example, note that the introduction and ending are very similar. Emphasize this and explain the similarities to acilitate the rehearsal. Give special importance to dynamics and articulations especially the marcato () or rootop accent thin daht. Having the and (and you) sing the rhythmic igures using simple jazz syllales lie dah (long) or dit (staccato) ill help students understand the sing concept and importance o the overall rhythmic concept, plus, nothing ill help internalize the sing eel lie vocalizing. Note that in order to avoid a doule ass eect, the aling ass line is supported throughout y the ass drum on eats 1 and 3 only ut avoid the drummer overplaying the ass drum. The ass drum should e eathered and rarely played loud in this situation. The piano part is ellnotated, as is the ass part. The optional guitar part consists o slashes or comping. The comping style or this chart is typical sing style hich is quarter notes. The inest education or this style comping is to listen to reddie Green, Basies longtime guitarist ho mastered the art o sing comping its elt more than heard. or the est sound as the guitarist to use medium thicness pics hich ill give the sound a very right, acoustic quality and hold the pic loosely eteen the thum and index inger. Strum straight quarter notes trying to cut o (mute) the sound o the chord right ater striing the strings. Strum rom the elo; giving a right, singing sound that propels the rhythm section orard. Dont strum rom the rist or ingers as playing rom the rist or ingers tends to sound very orced, and also tends to drag instead o propel the rhythm. The guitarists quarter note rhythm should perectly mesh so that the guitar and ass merge into one ig sound. At measure 0, the inds have a soli rea hich leads to a unison/tutti chorus section starting at 1. At rehearsal numer 57, the chorus section continues to develop until returning to the A section and eventually the end. Please enjoy! Previe Only George Vincent
