Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Calypso - Medium Difficult

Publisher: Hirsch Music Publications

It's difficult to not have fun with this chart. "Free Food?" is a catchy, good-humored Calypso in C minor. Look out for the cute trumpet mouthpiece "quacks" (it's an ode to ducks, after all). There are 16-bar solos scored for several players, making it a great vehicle for featuring a handful of soloists—but much more interesting than endless blues choruses. You'll find meaty saxophone and trombone parts, and a clever ending. "Free Food?" works great just about anywhere in a concert set, and is a great closer for a festival program.
