The trumpet solo made famous by Al Hirt of “The Green Hornet Theme” (and more recently revived with its inclusion in the Quentin Tarantino motion picture “Kill Bill”) is presented here as a feature for a talented trumpet soloist to be accompanied by an additional 6 brass plus a rhythm section of piano and percussion. This arrangement observes the original key and form of the classic recording.
While the trumpet solo sticks to the original performance, the remaining brass parts step up to fill in for the remainder of the big band accompaniment. The Piano and Drum Set parts are all fully notated. The xylophone part is optional, as is the Timpani/Tambourine percussion part, but both add a nice bit of sparkle to the proceedings.
This is an advanced level arrangement that showcases a virtuoso trumpeter as supported by a solid ensemble.
A great way to add some 60’s television theme flavor onto your program!
