This slow jazz waltz, "Black Narcissus," was written by Joe Henderson and arranged by Ramon Ricker and features the tenor sax. Although originally written for five saxophones (AATTBar) and piano, this arrangement works equally well using the optional parts for a trumpet/flugelhorn and trombone.
This publication provides a professional-grade arrangement of Joe Henderson's jazz waltz "Black Narcissus" for a specific instrumental ensemble. The work is curated by Ramon Ricker, a noted educator and saxophonist, who adapts Henderson's original composition to accommodate a saxophone quintet (AATTBar) supported by a rhythm section. The arrangement balances the original melodic integrity of the jazz standard with practical performance considerations for ensemble settings.
What You Will Find
The arrangement is regarded as a functional resource for jazz educators and ensemble directors seeking authentic, well-structured charts for saxophone-heavy groups. Its inclusion of optional instrumentation suggests a focus on flexibility and accessibility for varied performance environments.
