Harry James

Two O'Clock Jump

This version of Two O'Clock Jump is from the Harry James band of the 1950's, and has a much more relaxed and laid back feel then the original version. This number is great for swing dancing and grooves from start to finish. The opening Piano and Trumpet solos are written out for you, and the 12 bar Piano solo is from chords. We didn't write in the Piano solo from the earlier version, as it was inappropriate. This chart is graged Medium / Advanced mainly because of the high Trumpet triplet runs which go from high Eb on the 2nd part, with the 8va option written onto the other 3 parts too. There are no sax doubles.
