Solid Chart for Gigs
Need 'In The Mood' for a gig? This alto sax and piano accompaniment version by Joe Garland does the trick. It's a standard intermediate arrangement, which makes it easy to pick up quickly. The key of Ab Major is comfortable, and while I assume chord symbols are present (standard for Hal Leonard swing), 6 pages means checking for optimal page turns is a must. A reliable, accessible chart for those last-minute requests.

Excellent Intermediate Swing Piece for Students
This Hal Leonard arrangement of 'In The Mood' in Ab Major is fantastic for my intermediate alto sax students. The intermediate difficulty level is perfectly pitched for developing rhythmic precision and big band style. The engraving is clear and easy to read, which is crucial for students. It offers a great opportunity to explore classic swing nuances while refining sight-reading and ensemble skills. Highly recommended for school and community bands.

Effective Accompaniment for Saxophone Feature
As a collaborative pianist, I found this 'In The Mood' arrangement for alto sax and piano to be very supportive. The intermediate piano part in Ab Major provides a solid harmonic and rhythmic foundation, allowing the saxophonist to truly shine with the melody. It doesn't overly double the solo line, which is ideal for balance and musicality. This is a well-crafted accompaniment for showcasing the saxophone soloist in a swing setting.

Finally, I can play 'In The Mood'!
I've always wanted to play Joe Garland's 'In The Mood' on my alto sax, and this sheet music is perfect! The intermediate level is challenging enough to feel rewarding but totally achievable for an adult learner like me. Playing along with the piano accompaniment makes it sound just like the classic big band recordings. It's so much fun and a great way to unwind and enjoy a timeless swing tune.

In The Mood (Eb Alto Saxophone)
The piece of music was in beautiful shape--perfect. I agreed w/ the stated level of difficulty for piano, I think it said medium. Don't know a thing about the saxophone difficulty, but that is not an issue for the saxophonist. We were very happy to find this product. It took a little longer than I expected for it to arrive, but perhaps I misunderstood how long it should take.
