A swinging, happy toe-tapper in the Basie tradition that just won't quit; this is a great concert or contest selection for mid-level bands. The (written) piano solo starts things out, followed by one (or all) of the saxes introducing the melody. Then the brass join in and the full ensemble plays up to a basic 12 bar blues solo section for any instrument. The ensemble sections, solis and dynamics that follow provide lots of contrast and excitement. There's even more than one shout chorus. Just when you think it's over, it keeps on goin'. A guaranteed winner!
