Brass Quintet

Cornet Chop Suey
by Louis Armstrong
arr. Zack Smith
Price: $10

Transposed parts can be ordered.


This is one of Louis Armstrong's iconic New Orleans jazz standards.  Trumpet 1 is featured throughout on a transcription of Louis' recorded performance from 1926 with his Hot Five.  It is hard to figure what key he actually played it in (E?Eb?F?) -- but we put it in concert F since that's where Wynton Marsalis played it on his Hot Five tribute album.  Trombone has a written solo for the second chorus, then trumpet 1 takes over to finish it out with Louis' iconic solo.  The solo trumpet part is a challenge, and the trombone solo is not easy -- but this will be a great addition to your New Orleans jazz set!
