  1. Baby, Won’t You Please Come Home Louis Armstrong

  2. Star Power

  3. 8, 18, 18, 18… • At the beginning, there is an intro with a total of 8 measures of the full ensemble playing. • The next 18 measures has the vocalist singing. • The following 18 measures is a saxophone solo, followed by 18 measures of trombone solo.

  4. More 18s…… • The next measure is a transitional measure and introduces the trumpet solo, which is also 18 measures. • The next and last 18 measures of the song the full jazz ensemble begins to play forte again, with the trumpet playing a solo line.

  5. Solos…Solos Everywhere • After the 8 measure intro, the song always has a soloist playing. • While the soloists are playing, the rest of the ensemble is playing a quiet accompaniment.

  6. Pass the Solo • The transitions from one solo to the next is never the same. • The accompaniment will sometimes provide a smooth chord progression to allow the next soloist to come in smoothly. • Other times, the previous soloist and accompaniment builds up to set the next soloist up on a big hit.

  7. Timbre • Each solo instrument has itsown unique timbre. • Timbre: the character or quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct as its pitch and intensity.

  8. Timbre • Voice- soft, warm • Saxophone- characteristic saxophone sound • Trombone- resonant, brassy • Trumpet- piercing, round
