Originally recorded by The Meters in 1969 Cissy Strut has since become a model for playing funk recorded by both jazz and rock artists. The signature bass line is played by trombones tenors and baritone sax and the entire band joins in with the catchy riffs. There are short solo breaks for the bass and drums along with solo or soli spots for saxes and trumpets.

One of the most soulful ballads ever written this standard has been recorded by artists ranging from Billie Holiday to Blood Sweat & Tears. Rick's easy arrangement features rich harmonies with full ensemble writing. A shortwritten solo is included for any sax but no improvised solos are required.

One of the great torch songs of all time here is a medium swing version of Cry Me a River with a bluesy edge. This one will be fun to perform!
