Here is our take on the Walter Donaldson classic, Makin Whoopee, as performed by the Count Baie orchestra. This chart features Trombone (originally played by Al Grey) almost from start to finish, and a good plunger technique is essential in order to achieve the intended result. The chart is a fine blend of solos, sax solis and fat ensemble work, all brought together with subtle use of dynamics and accurate phrasings. If you have a Trombone player that you wish to showcase, this chart is the perfect vehicle. There are no sax doubles.
