Misty - SATB Trombone Quartet (Up Tempo Swing)

This arrangement was actually created by my subconscious while sitting in my jazz arranging course at UWEC last semester. I had a tune stuck in my head that sounded so familiar to me but for 15 minutes I couldn't place it. I finally figured out that this up tempo swing style song I was hearing was actually the slow ballad "Misty" by Erroll Garner. That gave me instant motivation to see this arrangement to fruition. For extra fun I wrote it in a SATB trombone arrangement and a few borrowed instruments later led to this video! Please enjoy my original arrangement on "Misty".

Glides are the best part about trombone so I did appreciate this indeed

[@a-mazur-ing]

You are correct, sir. Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed it Garrett!

Pleased to have another example of a soprano trombone being used as a real instrument.

[@Kryptopunk2007]

We need a sax quartet of this.

Why soprano trombone notated like trumpet instead of classical notation? (M2 down)

[@a-mazur-ing]

Idk! I felt like I was playing a trumpet, the music made sense to read in my head, it put the notes on the staff nicely, but most importantly, it made every instrument read a different clef which was mostly just to flex haha.

[@davidhession1913]

Nice moment of metric modulation there

[@a-mazur-ing]

Thank you! I was very excited when it actually sounded good outside of my head as well!

[@Seekthetruth3000]

A bit too fast.

[@Piggyn]

Also... this arrangement completely missed the mark.

[@nicholasneyhart396]

Yes, and it misses the feel as well.
