This exciting and explosive swing chart was recorded by Louis Bellson in 1979. The drummer is featured throughout along with a alto saxophone solo. This is a showpiece arrangement that if pulled off well will instantly elevate your band to champion status. This is part of Matt's new 2019 Big Band 'Remix' Series. Matt's most popular big band originals re-orchestrated and re-issued for a more practical instrumentation, written for 5 Saxes, 4 Trumpets, and 4 Trombones (5,4,4,Rhythm), however they can also be played by a “compact” big band instrumentation of 4 Saxes, 3 Trumpets, and 2 Trombones (4,3,2,Rhythm).
