Stringin’ at the Juke Joint, composed by Tim Aucoin and arranged for string orchestra (Grade 3½), is a groovy, jazz-infused showpiece that channels the 1930s juke-joint swing vibe. The piece features a contagious, riff-based melody over a bluesy string backdrop, with built-in solo/soli sections that spotlight players as the groove builds toward a swinging finale. Perfect for intermediate ensembles, this arrangement allows students to explore jazz phrasing, ensemble rhythm, and improvisational-style elements—all wrapped in a fun, energetic performance setting.
