Of course! If you do any concerts at elementary schools or are looking for the perfect way to showcase each section in your jazz ensemble, this composition is a must. Starting with the bass, the narrator introduces each of the rhythm section instruments; then the alto, tenor and baritone saxes, followed by the trombones and finally, the trumpets. The styles range from a New Orleans second line beat to a bossa nova to a great Killer Joe groove. All of it is tied together beautifully with the narration and is sure to be a highlight of any program. The narrator does not need to be a musician, so enlist the help of your principal, superintendent, board member or music parent. Performance time is approximately 7 minutes.
