Saxophone Choir/Ensemble - Sopranino, 2 sopranos, 2 Altos, 2 Tenors, Tenor/Baritone, Baritone, Bass. With a bright swing tempo, this piece swaggers along with style. The opening and closing sections almost have a big band feel to them, while the central section is slow and bluesy. At about 5 minutes long, a great concert item for intermediate ensembles.
