jazz arrangement
Scored improvisation framework
A jazz arrangement is a version of a musical composition adapted for jazz performance, specifying how instruments interact, where solos occur, and how the harmony and rhythm are treated.
Arrangements transform simple melodies into full ensemble pieces: The band played a swinging arrangement of "Summertime".
A skilled arranger balances written passages with space for improvisation.
