Description
Big band - Medium to difficult
SKU: WA.55281
Composed by John Fedchock. Score and parts. Published by Walrus Music Publishing (WA.55281).An advanced level, uptempo swing chart first recorded by Woody Herman on his final Grammy-nominated CD "Woody's Gold Star". The attention-getting introduction and unison opening theme lead to flexible, blues-based solo sections for tenor sax and trombone, including swinging backgrounds as well as high-energy exchanges between the ensemble and trombone soloist. Things come to a climax with and exciting shout chorus, an ensemble recap, and a dynamic closing. A perfect concert opener, or jazz vehicle for some fun "open blowing". 5,4,4,G,P,B,D.
