Echoes in the Hills (comp. & arr. by Tom Wolfe)

VJC Publications release, written for 17 to 18 performers (Full Big Band instrumentation, with optional vibraphone part). Echoes in the Hills is a lightly swinging chart based on the chord progression to Cole Porter's I Love You. The composition, by jazz educator/performer Tom Wolfe, has been reharmonized and also features dominant pedal points. The melody is found in the Alto Sax I, Trumpet II, Trombone I, and (optional ) Vibraphone parts. Solos are in those same Alto Sax I, Trumpet II, and Trombone I parts. After solos, there is a sax soli and a brief tutti ensemble passage. Finally, the piece returns to the melody, ending with a gentle fade out of collective improvisation from the ensemble, creating those “Echoes in the Hills”.

This arrangement can be performed at the suggested tempo. However, it works well at both slower and slightly faster tempi. The groove itself should reflect swing feel in four, but with an implied feeling of two during the first half of the melody. This big band arrangement is of intermediate-to-advanced difficulty.
