Slurs and articulations are provided to assist in understanding the inflections characteristic of swing style. Younger players have a tendency to cut off notes at the ends of slurs. These notes must be held their full value into the following note, especially during eighth-note lines. Rhythm parts are written out to provide appropriate rhythms and voicings for players unfamiliar with the style. Though fully orchestrated, this piece can be successfully performed with a minimum instrumentation of four saxes (AATT), three trumpets, two trombones, bass, drums, and piano. Check Your Swing is a fun training piece for younger bands. Ranges and rhythmic responsibilities are conservative, allowing the focus to be placed on achieving an authentic, idiomatic swing style. The relaxed tempo should be accompanied by a strong internal awareness of the underlying triplet feel. As an additional exercise, the syllables "doo-doo-dah" sung evenly on each beat can help establish an understanding of the placement of offbeats in a swing tune. For notes that fall on the "and" of the beat, strive to accurately place them directly on the third of the implied triplet. Above all, fight the natural tendency to rush - keep it relaxed!

About the FJH Beginning Jazz Ensemble (Grades 1 – 1.5): Appropriate for first-year jazz ensembles. Playable with as few as 3 saxes, 2 trumpets, 1 trombone, and rhythm section.
