Jonathan Arcangel's arrangement of Layton and Creamer's classic tune, After You've Gone, is the perfect addition to any modern big band arsenal. Beginning with a clever play on the melody, the saxophones launch the band into the melody, sung by the trumpets, which is adorned by some sick jabs from the bones. After a short interlude, the full band carries a weaving unison line through the changes, which is sure to turn heads. A tenor or trumpet soloist drives the band into the solo section with a 4-bar solo break. The soloist is accompanied by gorgeous background figures that move around the whole band, which provide significant communicative development. The last soloist takes the band into a tutti section which traverses the tune with rich harmony. After a swinging and challenging sax soli, the drummer launches the band into the head out. Trombone and alto soloists aid the melody's conclusion, and then the band comes in with a clever outro, utilizing a cool tag on the melody. This chart is a modern take on a beautiful classic.
