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:

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.
