Plays easy and sounds cool. That's the perfect combination found in this carefully-crafted blues tune for younger bands. The trumpets and bones take the lead, with the saxes providing interesting counter lines. Then several bars of full ensemble lead to an open solo section for any instruments over simple Blues changes, giving young players the opportunity to improvise. If they aren't quite ready for that yet, suggested solos are provided. After the solos, the bones, tenors and bari get to shine playing some fun unison licks which lead back to the whole band playing a big finish. This chart will sound great even for bands with limited experience, instrumentation, and rehearsal time. Don't Miss The Bus!

Absolutely one of the funkiest big band charts ever written. This Andy Clark arrangement of a great Don Sebesky original is loaded with appeal! Includes an open section for solos by any instrument and a drum solo section which climaxes with a terrific dogfight between the drums and the entire band! The ranges aren’t extreme, but it does require a solid trumpet section and a rhythm section that can play really funky to pull it off.
