As recorded by Miles Davis
Arranged by Gil Evans

Here is Gil Evans' arrangement of the standard Moon Dreams engraved from the manuscript. This is a brilliant arrangement full of color and orchestral nuance. This piece has been arranged for alto saxophone, baritone saxophone, trumpet, horn in F, trombone, tuba, bass, drums. Recognizing that not every band has access to a horn, we've included a second trumpet part as an alternate for the horn part. And, a bass trombone would easily be able to play the tuba part in the event that you don't have that instrument at your disposal.
This piece features a brief baritone sax solo (as played by Gerry Mulligan) that has been written out in full, though chords have been indicated for an ad-lib solo. The last part of the arrangement features arco bass. This classic, Gil Evans' masterpiece arrangement re-defined jazz and popular music arranging and should be a part of every band's library.
This is part of our BIRTH OF THE COOL series of charts.
