It’s Only a Paper Moon (arr. Rick Stitzel)

Grade 2. One of the best-known swing standards ever, here’s a wonderful version for young players. With plenty of tutti ensemble playing in addition to solis for the saxes and trombones, this is a chart that will sound great with limited rehearsal time. Also featured are solos for any sax and any trumpet, plus a shout chorus with some nice dynamic nuances. Enjoy great flexibility with the “Easy Jazz Ensemble series”! Playable with 4 saxes, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones and rhythm.
