Big band - Medium to difficult

SKU: WA.51234

Arranged by Frank Foster. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.51234).

This up-tempo swinger is dedicated to one of Chicago's finest and one of the world's most fiery tenor saxophonists, Johnny Griffin. The challenging melody, based mostly on "I Got Rhythm" chord changes, is written out for two tenor saxophones and two trumpets, all of which are featured soloists on the chart. The harmonic variations may be a little tricky for the soloists at first, but a little concentration and application should get past this aspect. The ensemble blasts behind the soloists as they go through their paces, then following the first 16 measures of the shout chorus, they take it out with melody from the final bridge. Lead trumpet to high Db4. Med-diff.
