NEW SOUNDS FOR THE STAGE BAND La Play tt Cool tana nunnee Composed and Arranged by DICK LEB CONDUCTOR (Singlesine Part) Special notes to the director: ‘The title, "Play It Cool”, is also the clue to a fine performance style. It should be played “cool”, not fast but relaxed with soft overall dynamics, The loud spots are carefully marked and are important to the successful pacing and sense of climax, The ssubito » two bart before (F) is crucial to an effective performance. Don't let the band overlook it [Equally important i fine intonation and blending, which is easiest to do at these moderate dynamic levels, The harmonies are rich but not dissonant and will reward the band for their efforts in careful tuning. An JD and I are conceived as having a tiplet background meter (JB), howev should not be heavily accented but lightly felt. m this arrangement this ehythm All unisons are with no vibrato (but careful intonation). spy ene ESTES wre snt tne se bing Se 6 a6 re a letter (C), slide into the note from below and reach correct pitch jutt before the next pitch, ‘The turns! = at the beginning, bar 7 in the alto saxes, and at letter (A), bar 5, in the trumpets, are to be played: = When the part sys “as is” it should be played exactly as written otherwise the written parti & suggested comping (short for accompanying) ot chord feeding par and may be replaced by an improvised part in the same ayle ‘when the pianist is proficient enough todo s, Two points may be helpful for pianlats with less dance band experience: 41) The pianist does not have to play continually to help in the rhythm section, A fine planist waits for Just the right opportunities to pur in a few chords that will make the band fee! the rhythm. Listen to Count Basie, 2) Plano pedaling is not used often in dance band playing, When in doubt, don't use the pedal. "ABOUT THE DRUM PART] Like the piano, the drum is provided with a basic part which he may play as written, until he is thoroughly familiar with the arrangement, The drummer should follow specific instructions to use sock cymbal, ride cymbal, brush- 8, sticks, tom-toms, etc,, but he may freely alter the rhythms to arrive at the most helpful and swinging part. A fine drummer does not continually improvise solos for himself, or constantly fill up every hole in the arrangement, but like the planis, ties to Pt in the touches which will inspire the band to swing, In jazz vocabulary, “sock cymbal” and “hi-hat” are synonymous; “ride cymbal” (or “top cymbal") is a cymbal on a stand, played for a flowing shythmic effect behind solos and sometimes behind ensemble passages (dance band terminology for tweed pas- sages, usually with concerted rhythm). [A COMPLETE CONDUCTOR'S SCORE in concert pitch is available from the publisher. This includes all the information fon each instrumental part (including complete rhythm section parts) for the most efficient, professional-style rehearsing.
