Trombonist EDDIE BERT was featured in the big bands of Benny Goodman, Charlie Barnet, Woody Herman and Stan Kenton before venturing into the 1950s bebop scene, where he recorded with Coleman Hawkins, Charles Mingus, and his own groups. An excellent soloist and first-call section player, Eddie played in many Broadway and TV orchestras and also played with Thelonious Monk at the legendary Town Hall and Lincoln Center concerts.

AROUND TOWN by EDDIE BERT Medium up swing

QUINTET INSTRUMENTATION

"Around Town" is educational as well as fun to play, moving around from key to key. The 5-measure melody outlines the changes as it establishes each key, makes it the dominant key, then modulates to the next. Form: A A1 A2 A3 B. B uses eight dominant chords to get back to the first key.

SOLOS: same chord progression as the head, but expanded to 8-measure phrases.
