Commi ssioned for the Cardinal Vaughn Memorial School Jazz Band in London, England, this swing shuffle original for proficient bands will energize players and audiences.

An exciting shout chorus follows, ending with an open drum solo before the final chord. Rhythm section parts partially notated with chords cued. Duration 5:15. Available in SmartMusic.
