Originally
written in 1946 by
Charlie Parker soon after
his longtime friend and
musical companion Dizzy
Gillespie left him in Los
Angeles to return to New
York City, this uptempo
setting for big band in
the original key of Bb
features the I Got Rhythm
changes on which Parker's
tune is based. A
wide-open solo for lead
alto, shorter solo
segments for 3 trombones,
and an 8-bar
unaccompanied solo for
the drummer allows ample
stretching room for
proficient players.
Duration 3:45.
