Edition: Jazz Big Band Arrangement

Description: Swing - Medium

Publisher: Baker's Jazz

In the style of the great Louis Prima, this medium tempo "jump" blues is full of energy and excitement. Being a "riff-based" chart, there are opportunities to play the written backgrounds or have students create their own. The sax section is featured in a 2 chorus soli and there is lots of room for numerous soloists. A driving shout section leads to a short open drum solo before the final chord. Trumpet range to written high C. Trombone range to G.
