Poinciana (song Of The Tree)
by Nat Simon
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $57


This big band arrangement is loosely based on the Ahmad Jamal version of "Poinciana" and incorporates the unique drum groove that Vernel Fournier played on the original recording.  The Tenor Sax 1 is featured on a chorus of improv, and the guitar and bass also have brief written solos.  Instrument ranges are not demanding, but this would be considered a Grade 2 chart due to a couple tricky rhythms in the soli section.  Arrangement comes with optional Percussion, Flute, Bb Clarinet and F Horn parts.

Instrumentation is 5 saxes, 6 brass, 4 rhythm.
Playable by 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and 3 rhythm.
