Program Notes

“Right From the Jump” is a high-energy swing tune for developing jazz ensemble that hits the ground running with bold riffs, driving rhythm, and attitude! From the opening figure, the piece sets a strong tone—rhythmically tight, harmonically focused, and full of momentum.

The chart is rooted in the traditions of classic big band swing, but its darker minor tonality gives it a modern edge and a sense of intensity.
