More about this title
About the Composer: Van Morrison
Van Morrison is a Northern Irish singer-songwriter and musician whose career spans more than five decades. His influences range from American R&B, soul, and rock to Irish folk traditions, and his songwriting combines introspective lyricism with infectious melodies that appeal across generations and genres.
Why we love this
Mike Story's arrangement captures what makes 'Domino' work: a groove that feels effortless, a melody students actually want to play, and written solos that give young musicians real improvisation frameworks without overwhelming them. At Grade 1, it's genuinely playable while sounding polished enough to impress an audience.
What to expect
Grounded and groove-oriented, with just enough soul and swagger to feel like real jazz playing rather than an exercise. The rock foundation makes the rhythm section feel secure, while the melody carries that signature Morrison warmth.
Who it's for
Young jazz ensemble players at the first-year level who need charts that sound sophisticated without requiring advanced technique or reading skills. Directors looking for accessible rock-influenced jazz repertoire that builds ensemble cohesion and keeps students motivated.
How to get the most out of it
- Lock the rock groove early in rehearsal by having the rhythm section (bass, drums, and comping instruments) find the pocket together before layering in the melody and solos.
- Breathe space into the melody line rather than clipping phrases short; Morrison's melodies benefit from a legato approach even within a rock context.
- The written solos give form and structure, but encourage the alto, trumpet, and trombone soloists to find their own voice within each solo section during rehearsals.
How to use it
Ideal for a concert that blends jazz ensemble charts with more pop-flavored material, or as a confidence builder early in the ensemble year. Its three-minute length and accessible sound make it work well alongside Grade 1 standards while showing audiences the range of repertoire available to young jazz players.
Skills your students will build
- Rock and shuffle rhythm feels in an ensemble setting
- Comping and rhythm section coordination
- Solo construction and phrasing within written frameworks
- Reading lead lines with consistent phrasing and breath placement
