So, I find that dynamics are a big part of making a band arrangement really groove. It seems like RB and BIAB don't address this. How does one convincingly bring the dynamics down for vocals or build to a crescendo tutoring a solo? Is the trick to find a style with similar instrumentation and groove that may have a quieter A section? Seems like a lot of time spent to figure out which chart goes with chart.

Check out Buddy Guy's band dynamics after the solo at about 3 minutes in: https://youtu.be/RYkfH7bmUlc

How does one make that kind of arrangement happen?
