This tuneful funk chart for advancing groups grooves from start to finish. The title refers to the bouncy feeling of the swing 16th notes. Solid secondary lines and background figures support the catchy melody. With solo space for alto, tenor, trumpet and/or trombone, this idiomatic funk original calls for crisp, spirited articulations and careful observation of dynamic changes. There is also a fun bass solo later in the piece. A guitar chord chart by Jim Greeson is included in each set. Duration 4:45. Available in SmartMusic.

As recorded by the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra on the album Suite For Pops, this second part of the suite spotlights solo flugelhorn in a beautiful ballad setting. Backed by warm woodwinds and expressive brass lines, the solo part consists of both written and improvised passages. A couple of short piano solos before the closing rubato lends dimension and contrast. Duration 4:45.

Written during Thad's later years in Denmark after he and Mel Lewis parted ways, this bright, double-time tune designates piano as the main soloist, but includes an optional repeat of the solo chorus for trumpet and/or soprano (or alto) sax. A rubato intro and ending, both featuring solo piano, give the chart a strong sense of form and symmetry. Duration 4:00.
