Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Funk - Medium

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

Chuck initially composed this catchy little ditty for four horns and rhythm. The funky-N'Awlins groove was so much fun the big band arrangement was sure to follow. Solos (scored for tenor sax and organ but easily opened up for others) are over rhythm changes with an extended bridge. Coltrane-ish subs, however, are provided for those who like their gumbo spicy! (Optional violin, optional Hammond B-3.) Recorded by Chuck Owen & the Jazz Surge (Big Band) on "Here We Are" on Sea Breeze Jazz.
