Publisher: Hirsch Music Publications

"Catch Me if You Can!" is a one-of-a-kind groovy, upbeat swinger. It has meaty lines for your sax section, an infectious groove for your rhythm section, and fun pedal tones and tight clusters for your brass players.

"Catch Me" is a vamp-like solo vehicle for alto and tenor sax. The whole piece is capped off with a soaring shout chorus and a thrilling surprise ending. It has been used by numerous collegiate and advanced high school jazz bands, as well as many all-state jazz bands. It also makes a fantastic festival closer.

Thanks to the University of Northern Iowa Jazz Band I for the fantastic recording you hear above, from their CD Strange Wonderful.
