Sweet Emma

Big Band (16-piece) 5 Saxes - 4 Trumpets - 4 Trombones - 3 Rhythm


Nat Adderley composed this tune as a tribute to the revered New Orleans pianist, “Sweet Emma” Barrett. This big band treatment retains the feel that was established in the original recording by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet. At the same time it takes advantage of the added strength and textures made possible by the increased instrumentation.

Key Signature: B-flat and C

Time Signature: 4/4

Tempo: ca. 104

Top 1st Tpt Note: Written E above the staff

Solos: Tenor 1, Trumpet 3 and Bari Sax
