A jazz ensemble essential! George Gershwin's song is the foundation for hundreds of jazz tunes, with the use of the chord progression becoming known as "'Rhythm' changes."
'I got rhythm' is the "real McCoy," arranged here for your first year jazz ensemble by Ralph Ford. Ralph has the experience and know-how to score for this level, and he makes it educational and fun to play. Modest brass ranges, written solos with ensemble backgrounds, and plenty of easy swing rhythms make a super chart that provides all you need for a great concert. With such an outstanding composer, arranger, and chart, you can't lose with this one!
