How I Create Big Band Voicings
In this video I discuss arranging for a Big Band, using voicing and orchestration I learnt from studying Gil Evans. More details can be found here: gilevansinsideout.wordpress.com

Woah, I just hit 4k subs, amazing! Especially for such niche content. I think I'll do a Q&A in celebration. If you have any arranging, music theory or Gil Evans questions. Just comment them below!
Fascinating video. Three bass clarinets?? These odd instrument combos are fantastic. You've done a great job distilling the lessons and rules for this kind of writing. It sticks with me and empowers me to try it myself. Well done, more please!!

Awesome video Alex. I remember you teaching me all this when I was writing my final college assignment last year. It was really precious advice, which I still use.

Thank you for sharing your work, it is very helpful. I have a question at minute 3.36, the chord number is Bbm7, how do you reach that conclusion if the Bone bass plays Eb and the 3rd Tp plays D natural?

Good spotting Gabriel! The D natural should be a Db 😀. And the Bbm7 marking is mostly for the bass player. The chord should be Eb9sus. I'm happy to help.
