On Green Dolphin Street was arranged by Jim Fieldhouse for the Eclipse Saxophone Quartet from Manchester in the UK in 2005 for a series of concerts in which they collaborated with a drummer. This chart works well as a saxophone quartet alone but also comes with the optional drum kit part for groups who want to try adding something extra to the ensemble sound.
This is a tour de force blistering arrangement for jazz saxophone quartet and is most definitely not for the fainthearted. Flipping between a fast samba and double time swing, this chart is a roast up for all four performers. The 1947 film theme for the movie Green Dolphin Street has been recorded countless times and become a well loved jazz standard, heres a version that's a potential showstopper (one way or an other!)
With solo space for Alto 1 and Baritone saxes and a shout chorus which really motors along, this chart will be a great showpiece for accomplished quartets. This quartet also comes with a optional drum kit part to add another dimension to the ensemble sound.
