Midnight in Little Chicago Jazz Ensemble Flugel Horn Feature by Justin Kessler and Ryan Fraley Grade 4 (Medium – difficult) Performance Time: 5:00 Purchase from: www.pdfjazzmusic.com Play Recording recording credits Preview Score

Midnight in Little Chicago is a tune composed by my good friend Justin Kessler. He had been performing it with a trio for some time when he gave me the lead sheet, and I immediately knew it had to be made into a big band chart. It's a wonderfully eery melody over unconventional (but really tasty) changes. Features well-notated rhythm section parts with suggested piano voicings. Although this chart is scored as a flugel horn feature, C, E, B, and Bass Clef solo parts are included — makes a perfect ballad feature for any instrument.    Available on the CD Cook the Books by The Indianapolis Jazz Orchestra © 2005 JASI Records
