Description
The powerful spiritual Go Down, Moses is given a stylish and soulful swing arrangement by Dennis Armitage. This setting features a prominent and expressive Jazz Cornet solo, allowing the performer to explore the bluesy “shouts” and soulful phrasing of the genre. The band accompaniment is rhythmic and “cool,” providing a perfect jazz-club backdrop. It is a fantastic “entertainment” item that brings a different stylistic edge to a program while honoring the profound roots of the original spiritual.
