Donkey Kong Country - Jungle Hijinx Big Band

[mrtrent]

This is an arrangement of mine for big band, based off of the Orchestral Game Concert Album's arrangement for orchestra.

This style of jazz was influenced by Benny Goodman's " Sing Sing Sing" and the drum stylings of Gene Krupa. This school's drummer was very prominent so the intro drum solo was extended as was the middle solo. The middle solo was originally written to be followed by a solo section for the other instruments.

This file includes the entire audio of the performance, and the youtube video of the recording of the performance has cut the intro solo in half.
