This advanced chart is playable by advanced college and professional ensembles. Written for the One O’Clock Lab Band at the University of North Texas, “Skyline” appears on the album “Lab 22,” with Jackson as a featured soloist on the recording. Suspended sonorities alternate with resonant triad pairs to frame a flowing melody, with sweeping saxophone gestures and lush brass interactions. The solo melody is shared in unison by trombone 1 and trumpet 2, and chord changes are written in the trombone 1 and tenor sax 1 parts. There is also space for a drum solo between horn players, and the guitarist and pianist have freedom to ornament written material, as if in a combo. “Skyline” was fondly written in honor or the dramatic overlooks in Jackson’s hometown of Duluth, MN.
Other Considerations:
5 saxes, 4 trumpets, 4 trombones, guitar, piano, bass, drums
Lead trumpet highest note: written D6
Lead trombone highest note: written C5
Bass trombone lowest note: written Db2
Play time: 8:00
