Coal Cart Blues

Here is a chart I transcribed/arranged from Clarence Williams Blue Five ca. 1925

The tune is Coal Cart Blues.

The instrumentation is as follows: 

• Clarinet
• 1st Trumpet
• 2nd Trumpet
• Trombone
• Piano/Banjo/Guitar(one part)
• Bass
• Tuba
• Drums
• Score

This chart features wonderful ensemble parts which are completely written out. All the solos are solo ad lib except the trombone solo which is written out.

This chart’s level of difficulty is rated: Easy. This rating means the tempo, key, and instrumental range is manageable for most musicians. It is great for beginners to trad jazz.
