NOTES TO THE CONDUCTOR is a ne setting o the great Latin-jazz standard comosed by saxohone legend Joe Henderson The tune as released on Joe s groundbreaking album Page One in 196 This arrangement strives to cature the lavor o the original recording and combine it ith my more contemorary big band and Latin scoring The irst thing to do to begin ork on this chart is to ind a coy o Joe s Page One recording and listen together! The overall aroach to the chart should be based on strong straight-eighth notes, tyical o Latin-based styles The ostinato in the rhythm section that serves as the basis o the intro (and aears again at measure 85) should be layed assertively and right in the center o the beat not laid-back or layed on the ront side o the beat The irst statement o the melody in measure 21 or tenor and trumet and rhythm section should be cris Pay careul attention to the articulation, esecially the staccato notes, as they may not be quite hat the layers exect This is also true hen the saxohone section icks u the melody in measure 7 The ubeat trombone igures beginning at 7 should be at and detached not too short This is true or every ubeat ensemble igure in the chart, or examle, brass at 79 and 181 182, and so on The ensemble soli at measure 5 should be layed ith a ocus on great rhythmic eel Be sure to come don to at 54 The eak o this assage occurs at measure 69, dig in! What I call a yramid entrance assage begins at 90 make sure each entrance is solid The solo section begins at measure 97 ith backgrounds added or cued as desired The goal ith the initial background igures is a arm, ull, orchestral sound in the horns Make sure the harmon-muted trumets are equal artners in the ensemble balance The ensemble unches at 11 should be layed ith great energy and the o-beat notes should be at The assage beginning at measure 17 is based around a montuno; a rhythmic attern common in Latin styles and tyically ound in a keyboard art The iano solo at 17 can go a long ay toard setting the roer rhythmic eel and style or everything that ollos Again, the goals are a great energetic groove and centered eighth-note based time Work to get the hole assage to lo as the various sections layer in The climax o the chart occurs at measure 177 Saxohones should lay the melody ith conidence and oer The closing trading ours section at 209 should come back don dynamically to and build to the end as the backgrounds enter I hoe you enjoy erorming this chart!
