Big band - medium - difficult

SKU: WA.52476

Arranged by Henry Wolking. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.52476).

The title is derived from a campy indie horror spoof flick about giant brine shrimp attacking Salt Lake City in the mid sixties. It was a Utah thing but I loved the imagery of bluesy brine shrimp on the march. This Ellington-ish medium blues chart marches to its own beat with a straight-ahead melody preceded and followed by solos with cool riffs and big shout choruses. Challenging, but basically melodic and straight-ahead. I featured this chart in 2010 at the Shanghai World Exposition with the University of Utah Jazz Band 1, and the Chinese audiences ate it up. Soloists: piano, tenor sax, trumpet.Trpt. 1 to written high C.5/44G/P/B/D.
